Dwayne grew up in Redford, Michigan, a neighboring town to the City of Detroit, and was raised by his Mother who gave birth to him at just 20 years old. As a child, Dwayne was consumed by American Football, Basketball, and watching Wrestling. He played the strategic positions of Quarterback and Point Guard as a child, and teenager while maintaining honor roll status in school.
In his senior year of High School Dwayne moved to Florida to live with his grandparents who retired just outside of Walt Disney World aftering investing in vacation home rentals while working over 30 years at General Motors in Detroit.
Dwayne’s grandmother knew he would need a way to pay for college, and the State of Florida, through the Florida Lottery Offering, funded a public state scholarship program called Florida Bright Futures to fund 75-100% of college tuition for high-performing high school graduates. This did not exist in Michigan.
He dropped everything, moved in with his grandparents, and enrolled into East Ridge High School. in Clermont, Florida. He was accepted into Advanced Placement courses, continued playing Basketball making the Varsity basketball team, and worked part-time as a cashier at Publix Supermarkets.
Months before high-school graduation he was accepted into University of Florida just as the Florida Gators won back-to-back national basketball championships and the national college football title. This was an easy choice.
Dwayne spent the first summer in college studying abroad in Madrid, Spain funded by his scholarship. Living in Europe was transformational for him. He then, returned to Gainesville and spent the first 3 years majoring in Mechanical Engineering completing the Calculus’, Physics, and differential equations courses, and in his third year realized he didn’t have the drive to learn about material science and packaging.
He switched to Economics and this was the perfect fit for his strategic thinking and analytical skills giving him a lens to connect with the wider world beyond Gainesville, Florida.
After multiple years of attending career fairs, fine tuning his resume and interview skills, and working summer internships — Dwayne received multiple job offers in his last year of college after being flown around the country for interviews. This was quite the experience for him at the time.
He decided to accept an offer from a Small IT Consulting Firm called Omnipoint Inc. in Atlanta, Georgia.
The company, at the time, specialized in an up-and-coming Human Resources software, in the cloud, called Workday.
Dwayne joined and completed the Workday HCM Certification, and established a niche becoming a profitable asset creating custom reports for clients to visualize data.
Six months into his career, Omnipoint was acquired by AON, and due to the rapid growth of Workday, many large companies such as Accenture, Deloitte, and KPMG began courting new talent to build out their practices.
He chose Accenture.
Working at Accenture, Dwayne learned how to be a technology consultant. He traveled every week to Pittsburgh and Miami as an Analyst living in mostly Starwood hotels and traveling Delta Airlines. He wore mostly business attire and learned how to listen, communicate, and load data. He played a key role in bringing a sales tool to life, by working with an offshore team in Manila, Philippines to build it out.
After completing two large Workday implementations in Higher Education, Dwayne connected with PwC who offered International Leadership Experience & Growth Opportunities.
At PwC, Dwayne learned how to be professional and tailor his communications to be effective with Executive, Functional, and Technical Leaders. He continued traveling every week until he was caught by surprise with a life changing phone call.
