Wayne was born on May 17, 1930 in Levelland and was raised in "Beautiful" Quemado and San Angelo. He attended Lakeview High School and was the Drum Major for the marching band. After school he worked as a soda jerk and for Westinghouse delivering telegrams, Wayne was drafted for the Korean War where he served 2 years in communications.

Soon after they moved back to San Angelo where he worked for a couple different loan offices and then opened his first Pawn shop with his brother TL. This led to Wayne branching out and opening his own Pawn shop that eventually turned into his greatest venture Wayne's Trading Post, this became the family business that lasted for more than 25 years. He also was co-owner of Quick Loan Service with offices both in San Angelo and Del Rio. These ventures provided him the ability to do the one thing Wayne and Florence loved to do, travel.
