You'll have a hard time finding someone with more passion and creativity when it comes to building a healthy culture in the workplace. Even after roughly 9 years of working together, albeit remotely, Dwayne continually brings exciting and innovative ideas to the table on how our team can improve and engage the workforce. Dwayne's passion for improvement has contributed to his professional and academic development. His knowledge of business and understanding of human resources/employee relations is a unique and highly valued asset of our team. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, open minded, professional, who's dedicated to the team's overall mission, look no further.

Dwayne and I have worked together for the past seven years at Verizon. He has a plethora of experience in the corporate wellness industry, but most importantly, Dwayne has the unique ability to connect with each person he interacts with. He makes them feel comfortable, and also empowered. His welcoming personality, and work ethic has allowed his current Health and Wellness Center to experience growth in membership, active membership, and increased participation over the years. Dwayne's experience goes beyond the fitness center. He is a strong asset to the community, working with groups such as the American Heart Association, the Verizon Foundation, and others. He works closely with our Benefits team and provides excellent customer service. Dwayne's leadership has given him the unique opportunity to open three different fitness centers in which he has lead the adoption of all processes and procedures in each center, changing the lives of thousands of Verizon employees. I highly recommend Dwayne for any future employment, and know that he would be an asset to any team.
