He was born in Somerset County, New Jersey, and grew up in Branchburg and Far Hills. The son of two teachers, Mr. Wyatt graduated from the Far Hills Country Day School before attending high school at the Delbarton School in Morristown, New Jersey, graduating in 1998.

Thereafter, Mr. Wyatt received his B.A. cum laude from Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., with a double major in English and American Studies, and with an informal minor in Economics (Cornell does not recognize formal minors). While at Cornell, Mr. Wyatt served as the Vice-President of the Cornell Economics Society, and graduated from the Cornell-in-Washington program.

Mr. Wyatt was awarded his law degree in 2005 from The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law, Columbus, Ohio, where he received the CALI Award for Excellence in Business Transactions and the esteemed Certificate in Dispute Resolution, which distinguishes those students who graduate from Ohio State Law with advanced knowledge and practical experience in the area of dispute resolution (most notably, negotiation, arbitration and mediation).

The JDR is a major component of the Ohio State Law School’s nationally recognized program on Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”).

In May 2010, Mr. Wyatt earned an LL.M. (Master of Laws) in taxation from New York Law School. An LL.M. is a postgraduate law degree for attorneys, indicating specialized legal training.
