Dewayne was born on February 21, 1975 and is a native of Linden, AL. He is married to his best friend of 20 years, Leslie, and they are proud parents of three children: Devin, Dorian, and Journi. His corporate background consists of being the General Manager of one of Hilton Hotels brand hotels. Dewayne has received a Biblical Diploma from Samford University M.T.I. Program. He's also finishing up his theological training at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Dewayne had attended church with his grandmother as a child, but stopped attending after his grandmother's health prevented her from going. He has confessed that even though he attended church, he never "heard" the gospel message. He first believed the gospel message as an adult when he attended church after his boss at the time invited him. He then served there as a deacon for six years and youth pastor for seven years. During that time he was led to leave the corporate world and start Flatline Movement. Flatline is derived from Romans 6:11 which says, “ So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.” Flatline is a combination of gospel artists, weekly mentoring and an AAU high school basketball team (currently off for now due to scheduling). He was Strong Tower at Washington Park’s first youth pastor where he developed their youth program which is known as iENGauge. He is also the chaplain of Lee High School football team. He is also a church planting strategist for  Montgomery Baptist Association. Dewayne has written two books, his first  2018 entitled Flatline 2 Ngauge and Flatline To Grace releasing this year. You can find his first release at Books-A-Million, Barnes & Noble and Amazon.
