He was born on March 19, 1948, to John Posvistak and Nancy (Culver) Syson in Muskegon, MI which he has always called home. He graduated from Mona Shores High School class of 1966.

In his younger years, he attended photography school and followed his passion for photography for many years. Dwight was an outdoorsman, whether he was hunting, out on the greens golfing or creating his own knives.
