Sergeant Tristan Dyer, U.S. Army

Both of Sergeant Tristan Dyer’s grandfathers and several uncles served in the military, so he was familiar with the values and life lessons one learns from the military, but looking back he didn’t realize it would shape his future.

Tristan enlisted before high school graduation and served in the U.S. Army for five years, with a year deployment in Iraq. After being honorably discharged, he left his home of coastal Maine to pursue a career in film and television in Los Angeles, California. (More)
