DeWayne was born May 28, 1959 to George T and Dorothy A (Carlson) Chernovsky in Great Falls Montana. Wayne grew up and spent most of his young life on Air Force bases.

He graduated from Lincoln Technical Institute with degrees in small engine, diesel and gas engine mechanics. He spent his entire life continually using those skills. Buying, working on then selling vehicles, tractors, mowers, anything with an engine. As well as always being the guy working on everyone's vehicle! His knowledge of engines and motors will be greatly missed.

DeWayne had an amazing talent in punting football. He played for the Indianapolis Bears and the Pony Express minor league football teams from 1980 through 1986. He received letters for walk on tryouts from the Cincinnati Bengals, Miami Dolphins and Chicago Bears. Due to an automobile accident he was unable to attend those tryouts and ended his punting career.
