Wayne shares his love of the Mountain State in countless ways. As President of the Adamston Lions Club, he has helped with many community service projects, which include vision screenings, feeding programs, neighborhood cleanups, fundraisers, and much more. A community leader, Wayne has helped to start two volunteer organizations: Neighbors In Action and Fairmont’s First Friday Arts and Music Series.  Wherever Wayne leads, volunteers follow.
