Description

Double Vision is a poignant story by twin brothers, Wayne and Dwayne Caines, which chronicles their adventurous journey from childhood to manhood. The book explores the challenges of young men struggling to find their identity and purpose in life. It discusses Wayne's struggle with dyslexia and Dwayne's challenges as a teen father. There are many anecdotes and tales of mischief and hijinx. You will laugh and cry as you take the journey with them. It is hoped that through their story, they can bring hope and motivation to someone. Wayne and Dwayne hail from the beautiful island of Bermuda where Wayne is presently the CEO of Digicel Bermuda and Dwayne is the Public Relations Manager for the Bermuda Police Service. These men have traveled throughout the United States, the Caribbean and parts of Africa bringing messages of hope and inspiration. The goal of the book is simple-to motivate young people towards excellence and to encourage them to not allow their past to dictate their future, to encourage parents to never give up on their children and to inspire young men specifically to stay focused and committed and to never lose sight of their dreams.

I have known Wayne and Dwayne Caines through our Church, the Bermuda Regiment, our dear fraternity, and as friends. Collectively and individually, they bring their values, humor, strength of character, loyalty and love for Christ to every doorstep they cross. Of course, in a community as tightly knit as Bermuda, I have also encountered them professionally. As CEO of Digicel Bermuda, Wayne has transformed the local telecommunications landscape into one of the most modern and competitive in the region. Dwayne as Senior Police Media Relations Officer has been the face of the Police Service and the voice of reason during one of the most tumultuous periods in Bermuda s history when gun crime had spiraled out of control. God has selected each man for his respective mission, and they have performed them well.

Barclay Simmons Chief Executive Officer ASW Law Limited
I have had the distinct honor and pleasure of being associated with the Caines family for over 15 years and my life has been richly blessed by them. My initiation into the Caines world came through Wayne, who arrived at Warwick Camp as a scrawny, seemingly cocky and assured civilian who knew his place in the world. Through him I met his equally assured twin Dwayne and the rest of his family.
I was immediately drawn to Wayne because of his lively and confident persona. He was sure of himself, could articulate well any point he was making and most significantly for me, was unabashedly proud of his heritage as a black man with Bermudian and Jamaican roots. I could tell myriad stories about Wayne s antics in the Regiment but, the one that stands out to me was when we were in Jamaica training in the rugged hills of Portland, miles from our camp, Lt Caines and his platoon happened upon an elderly man on his horse going about his pastoral duties. That man was none other than Lt. Caines maternal grandfather. How rich is that?
Captain Wayne Caines, likewise his twin and other brother Travis, has always exemplified what a strong, God-fearing, honorable and confident man should look like and I admire that about him. This may sound odd but, the most significant thing to me about the Caines twins are their parents. A tree is known by its fruit and therefore, the Caines tree is a very solid, healthy and prosperous one. For Mr. and Mrs. Caines to produce two of the most upstanding young men I have ever had the privilege of knowing is an astonishing achievement. I have absolutely no compunction in saying that I greatly admire and respect Wayne and Dwayne, and love them and their families dearly.

Lieutenant Colonel Edward J. Lamb, ED, tacsc Commissioner of Corrections
I have worked closely with Wayne, who was my Chief of Staff until he was recruited by Digicel as the first CEO of their Bermuda operation. Wayne is outstanding in so many ways. He is a good listener, a clear thinker and unafraid to execute the agenda in a sometimes hostile environment. His only challenge in the Cabinet Office was that he liked bright-colored shirts and dazzling pastel ties. We fixed that early in the relationship!
Through Wayne I have come to know his twin Dwayne (and how to tell the difference!). It s impossible for me to think of these young men and their accomplishments without thinking of th
