About Us
Matthew 5:16:
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your
good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
If you are reading this you probably know us as the HanelineTwins on TikTok where we have
over 1.8 million followers. You see us having fun as we sing, dance, and praise our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. We have been so blessed and we think of all you like family, so we want to
tell you a little bit more about ourselves.
We are 75-year-old identical twins Dwayne and Wayne Haneline. We live in the heart of North
Carolina in the Piedmont area. Besides Jesus, family is the most important thing to us. Dwayne
has been married for 54 years. He has been blessed with five children, 19 grandchildren, and
one great granddaughter. Wayne has been married for 48 years. He has been blessed with
three children and six grandchildren.
We grew up in the country living the simple life. We have five other siblings that we grew up
singing with. Whether it was a family gathering or a church Sunday, you could find us singing
together. Our parents made it a priority for us to be in church and we are so thankful that they
did. We met Jesus and have followed Him as Lord and Savior for over 50 years. We have
always loved music and even had our own rock-and-roll band in our teenage years. There was
never a time when music was not a big part of our lives.
Something we are extremely proud of is our service to our country. We are both Vietnam
veterans and served together in Okinawa from 1968-1971. We were fuel and electrical system
repairmen that helped keep our troops driving on the roads. After our service we continued in
the trucking business driving tractor trailers. We also enjoyed years of following the Nascar
circuit, selling souvenirs at the races.
As brothers our purpose is to use our social media platforms, including our website, to continue
to do good in the name of Jesus. There are four organizations that we will bless financially from
the proceeds from our special merchandise. There is a personal tie to each of these causes that
we want you to know about.
• Autism Awareness: Dwayne has a grandson, Adam, who has autism. Adam has not let
his autism diagnosis slow him down as he loves to write songs, get involved in his
church, and even designed the artwork you see on these shirts. It is in Adam’s honor
that we are giving to Autism Awareness.
• Breast Cancer Research: Approximately 1 in 8 women will experience breast cancer.
The Haneline family has had some personal experience in losing someone to breast
cancer at too young of an age. We believe that giving to this research helps turn tragedy
into a testimony for Jesus!
• Ronald McDonald House: The Ronald McDonald house helps support families with
sick children in their time of need. Our family experienced the Ronald McDonald house
first hand as we walked through the loss of Dwayne’s granddaughter. We want to bless
those who helped us so much during that time.
• The Wounded Warrior Project: Military veterans need all the support they can get. The
Wounded Warrior Project helps support veterans and active members of the United
States military that have been wounded in combat. Being veterans ourselves, this
project is near and dear to our heart.
All other merchandise you purchase will help us continue to bring the content that helps us
entertain you and spread the love of Jesus. Thank you for everything you do to support us
whether it is buying some merch, leaving an encouraging comment, or sharing a story from your
life. TikTok has opened up a world to a world of ministry and amazing people we never would
have dreamed of. From the bottom of our hearts: THANK YOU!
