Dwayne got into triathlon just wanting to lose weight (which then became an addiction), and to be an inspiration to his kids that you can accomplish things that seem impossible.
At one point in his life, he was a Massage Therapist at the Ritz in NOLA, DJ at a daiquiri bar, Bartender at the same place, and Carpenter, all jobs held at the same time… post-Katrina.
He almost dropped out of high school to be a shrimping fisherman in my hometown, Lafitte.
His favorite movie is The Crow, this is not up for debate (Big Lebowski gets an honorable mention).
In 2021, Dayne won the Orange Crush Award for the most Podiums.
