So many careers, so little time! Author Lisa Di Vita was a theatre actress/singer/dancer for 12 years, performing in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Hawaii, Boston, Las Vegas and many other cities; in shows such as "A Chorus Line," "Shenandoah," "The Sound of Music," and "Fiddler on the Roof," but her first and favorite professional credit was performing with the Bolshoi Ballet in San Francisco when she was nine years old.
With little logic, Di Vita eventually made her way into Los Angeles sports radio as an on-air personality, (Lisa Bowman), interviewing athletes, delivering editorials, and supplying color commentary for a televised boxing show. She served as president of the Southern CA Sports Broadcasters.
Di Vita's quirkier forays include helping train dolphins for a university project in Hawaii, studying Shaolin Kenpo for 13 years, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu for four years, and singing the national anthem at nearly every sports venue in Southern California.
Having loved to write for her whole life, and contributing to the LA Press Club Magazine, Daily News, Los Angeles Dodgers Game Day, and the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, writing full-time has been a seamless evolution.
