About Diane

Diane (Barczak) Kiepe has been a part of the Dougals Eden team for over twenty years.  She began part time when her four children were young.  They are now all grown and all, but one, reside in other states.  She has been married to her husband, Tony Kiepe for 37 years.  The house is now home to their two dogs, Zeus and Little Guy (street name “LG”).

Diane has a passion for mentoring and sharing information.  In the past, she served as an adjunct professor for Whitworth University’s Continuing Education program, Whitworth University’s undergraduate program, and Gonzaga Law School and briefly served as Interim Director at Gonzaga Law School’s Federal Tax Clinic.  She is a regular speaker for NBI seminars and for the Spokane County Library, most recently speaking at the Deer Park branch.

She wishes she could tell you that she’s into something cool and appropriate for the PNW (hiking, rafting, skiing, etc.) but her free time is mostly spent playing various spelling games on her phone, rewatching episodes of Blue Bloods and NCIS, and, she has participated in multiple marathons……shopping marathons that is.
