Dwight was born February 13, 1947 in Waterville, Maine to Olan and Claribel (Tibbetts) Cummings. He attended high school in Belgrade, ME, joining the United States Air Force directly after graduation. He married his sweetheart, Barbara Yates, on August 9, 1967 and they lived in Tacoma, Washington. Dwight was an aircraft mechanic and instructor during the Vietnam era. After discharge they moved back to Texas and he began a career in finance. He worked for Dial Finance, World Finance, and Security Finance in a span of 20 years and 22 moves. Moving back to Wichita Falls for a more settled situation, he worked for First Wichita National Bank and City National Bank in succession, creating collection and recovery departments for them. When the opportunity arose, Dwight bought REDCO Loan and eventually was the creator of Rainbow Financial Software, now called Genesis Financial.

Active at Central Christian Church, he has served as a deacon, elder, teacher, and lay minister, always giving God the glory for his life.
