Lisa Dergan Speaker & Booking Information

Raised in a close-knit and supportive family, her mother encouraged her to try golf. Lisa took up the sport at the age of 12, and has been an avid golfer ever since. Keeping her interests broad while in high school, Lisa was an active student as a cheerleader, school paper contributor and homecoming nominee. With a bachelor's degree in the arts and a major in interior design from San Diego State University, fate took its course for Lisa in her junior year at college. She was approached by a scout on campus who wanted her to consider a modeling career. Although she ultimately chose the modeling path, Lisa worked as an interior decorator for the restaurant chain, Chili's (where she had been a waitress), while in University.

While modeling, Lisa Dergan was introduced to another agency, which then led to her work with Wilhelmina in Los Angeles. Lisa spent the remainder of her University years studying and modeling on her off days. Since modeling required lots of traveling, Lisa managed to do both by incorporating her travels into her school studies. Lisa went to Los Angeles and her modeling career was going at full speed. Lisa was working on the magazine to pose for its "What Sort of Man Reads Play.boy" ads, and they eventually wanted her to model as a centerfold. She decided to go ahead with it after some decision-making, and while she was working for Hugh Hefner's mag, she was chosen as a Play.mate. After getting the coveted title of "Miss July 1998".
