Bio.  [with bold added]  Over 25 years ago, Wayne pursued his dream of entrepreneurship when he started a commercial contracting and design business.

In the last decade, Wayne pursued a college degree through the Northcentral Technical College in Wausau where he earned an Associates Degree in Residential Design; a degree which allowed him to further expand his business. As a strong advocate for personal growth and achievement, Wayne values the importance of education and wants to ensure that it continues to help Wisconsin students, especially those in the 86th Assembly District, pursue their dreams and reach greater heights of success by making quality education more accessible through lower tuition rates and increased partnership programs between institutions such as UW-Marathon County and the Northcentral Technical College.

Above all else, Wayne believes that family and faith come first.
