Wayne is a born-and-raised West Seattleite. He and his twin brother were adopted at five days old to a wonderful Christian family. At three years old, they started taking tap lessons, performing at USA shows and school assemblies for 15 years. They were dedicated in the Presbyterian church at an early age and Wayne was baptized in 1980 at St. John's. Before SJB, he attended West Side Presbyterian church when school friends invited him to participate in the summer camp program. After high school graduation he attended Highline College, graduating with an Associate of Art degree in data processing. When the military draft came calling, he decided to enlist with the Air Force and spent three years in Spokane. Wayne met Mary and in 1967, they married at West Side Presbyterian church. After being discharged, Wayne worked at Seafirst Bank, now Bank of America, where he continued for 32 years. They started attending SJB in the early '70s. Mary and Wayne have two grown children, Dorotheann and Eric; six grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.
