He tried to start a few rock bands while in high school but was never successful due to financial and logistical constraints.Trey also played high school football as a linebacker, wrestled, and participated in Marine Corps Junior ROTC. Outside of school he shot competitively on a Junior NRA small-bore rifle team, earning wins at various competitions.Trey attempted to get accepted to the US Military Academy at West Point but was turned-away. He had to get a medical waiver for a screw in his left ankle and it was too late to receive an ROTC scholarship, which kept him from going to the Virginia Military Academy where he was accepted.

Instead, Mr. Schesser attended the University of Central Florida for two semesters before dropping out and joining the army as a Special Forces Medical Sergeant in July of 2004.He attended US Army Infantry School, Airborne School, and then a prep course for Special Forces.

In Tarin Kowt, Oruzgan, he met Christine Keller and started dating. They continued to date off and on until December of 2008, when they got engaged to be married.
