Michelle Hanson:  

Life The last 18 years. Brief Synopsis! Sorry if I left a few details out! After high school, I went to Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa for two years. Loved my time there. General Studies. Cheered for OCC...Go Bucks! Had too much fun at OCC. Taught dance for my sister's studio in Rancho Santa Margarita and worked for my mom at the dancewear store. Decided I needed to get away from California and try something new. ( You will see a pattern!) Went to Arizona State University in 1990. Majored in Broadcast Journalism. Produced and anchored the sports for ASU's cable show, Southwinds. God I was horrible! Cheered for ASU. Rah! Go Devils! Danced for the Phoenix Suns in 92-93 season. Yes, we went to the NBA finals. What a trip! That was one of the best years of my life! Nothing like being in front of 20K screaming fans. Still taught dance in Arizona. Interned in Sports dept at KTTK. Loved it, but realized news was not for me. SO....Opened Hanson Dance Centre in 1994 in Gilbert, AZ with my sister. (Phoenix). 1997 was not a good year for me, but I did meet a man and got engaged the next year. An it was time for change...so, I moved to Tennessee to be with him. What a BIG change. I was not ready to get married so called off the engagement. But stayed in Knoxville because I did enjoy my time there. Got a great job working for the CBS affiliate in station management, as Program Director. I lived in Knoxville, TN for five years. TN taught me a lot about what is important in life. And that brings us to the next jump in this journey ...Expand for more
