THE<br />

CAST<br />

EDUARDO DE LA TORRE (HE/HIM)<br />

US ARMY, 2003-2013<br />

Eduardo De La Torre was born and raised in Houston, Texas and<br />

graduated from Chinquapin in 1999. He was attending Texas A&M<br />

University when the September 11th attacks motivated him to enlist.<br />

After serving ten years (two deployments with the 82nd ABN DIV),<br />

Eduardo returned to college as a Posse Veteran Scholar at Vassar<br />

College. He worked for Value Act Capital and Bloomberg before<br />

returning to Houston to launch his own company, DVG Financial, in<br />

2018. He is currently working towards his MBA at Rice University in<br />

quantitative finance.<br />

LYNN GEISER (SHE/HER)<br />

US ARMY, 1993-2004<br />

Lynn Geiser is a very persistent, passionate, and dedicated military<br />

woman who has seen and been down the path of trauma and tragedy,<br />

but that didn’t stop her. She pursued goals that were beyond selfish<br />

because of her passion for giving back to her sisters in the armed<br />

forces. She separated from the military in 2004 after serving a total<br />

of ten years in the National Guard and active duty in the Army. During<br />

her time exploring who she was and finding her passion, she created<br />

a nonprofit called “Hope4veterans” in 2018. She wanted to do more to<br />

help our sisters in arms; she wanted to be there for her sisters, give<br />

them the tools to succeed and build confidence within themselves.<br />

Lynn Geiser’s journey of trauma and tragedy was changed into<br />

passion and growth for other military women that came across her<br />

path. To learn more, visit www.hope4veterans.org, and follow along<br />
