Anthony Dyer is a former U.S. Air Force special missions aviator with over a decade of experience in special operations aviation. He flew high-risk missions around the globe, earning multiple accolades including the Air Force’s Jolly Green Rescue Mission of the Year in 2018.
Originally from Sylva, North Carolina in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, Anthony brings the same courage and grit that defined his military career to his work as an author and mental health advocate. His debut book and memoir, “Moonchild,” offers a raw and compelling look at war, trauma, addiction, and recovery, shedding light on the invisible battles many veterans and service members face.
Now based in New Mexico, Anthony speaks and writes to break the stigma around mental health in the military, aviation, and veteran communities. When he’s not writing, he enjoys fishing, basketball, and spending time with his wife and children.
