BIO
Wayne Edwards is a born and bred Montanan, growing up in the rural central Montana town of Denton and graduating from Denton High School in 1971. Wayne attended Montana State University in Bozeman, graduating with a Pre-Med/Chemistry degree in 1975. He then received his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Washington in 1980, returning to Bozeman where he practiced Dentistry for 6 years.
In 1986, he returned to his hometown as a third generation banker of the independent, family owned agricultural bank started by his grandfather in 1929.
Typical of the small town way, when the local high school football coach left shortly before the start of the 1991 season, Edwards agreed to serve as the interim head coach at the eight -man football school. The interim designation turned into a highly enjoyable and satisfying 6 year stint. This playing and coaching experience served as an inspiration for his creation of the fictional story that is Pacer Coulee Chronicles.
Married to his college sweetheart for 45 years, Wayne and Lorinda are now retired from banking and split their time between homes in Bozeman, Montana and Cave Creek, Arizona. They enjoy spending time with their three daughters and sons-in-law, and their eight grandchildren.
