Wayne was a man of many talents and trades. In his twenties, Wayne drove semi. Then, he worked for his father’s business, Werner Siding & Windows. In 1987, Wayne started a local small business he coined “The Closet Organizers†where he designed & installed custom closet storage systems. Within his 20 years of managing his own business, he took pride in being a member of the La Crosse Area Builders Association.
