He attended school at District 43 in the Fairdale Community, north of St. Paul and then St. Paul High School where he graduated in 1949. Wayne attended the University of Nebraska in Lincoln where he received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Agriculture. He was a fraternity brother in the AGR fraternity.
He was united in marriage to Phyllis Wagner on August 30, 1953 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Wolbach.
Wayne entered the U.S. Army on November 8, 1953 serving until receiving his discharge on November 9, 1955.
The couple lived on the family farm near Wolbach before moving into town. Wayne taught for a Vet school in Greeley. He entered the feed business with Walnut Grove 4x4 feeds as a salesman. They moved to Dakota City, NE and then Sioux Falls, SD.
In 1964 they moved to Fremont where he continued to work in the feed business and also began feeding cattle. He also lived in Dennison, IA before moving to a farm between St. Paul and Wolbach in 1980 where he raised cattle.
He sold the farm in 2008 and moved to Lincoln to be closer to his children.
He retired from Walnut Grove after 25 years. During his career with Walnut Grove, he began as a salesman, becoming a manager and then a livestock specialist.
In his youth Wayne was very active in athletics, playing softball, basketball and tennis. He coached girl's softball and basketball. Wayne was very involved in the Nebraska Farmers Union and Nebraska conservation issues, dealing with windmills, hog farms, county zoning and recently the Keystone Pipeline, working at the State Fair and Husker Harvest Days.
He received Nebraska Farmers Union Farmer of the Year in 2008.
Family was important to Wayne, as they took in Jerry Feather as a teenager and raised him and later did the same for Larry Feather.
