In 2008, Dyer completed a master’s degree program in Educational Leadership at Wilmington University, and leveraged that into advanced roles within the Camden City Public School district: as Athletic Director, Vice Principal, Director of Career and Technical Education, and Senior Director of Athletic Programming.

Dyer helps those he mentors see their missteps as opportunities to reaching next steps.
