At the start of his career, Sayre worked for Wilfred Grenfell's medical mission in Newfoundland and Labrador, and as an assistant prosecutor in the office of the New York County District Attorney .

He was awarded the Grand Cross of the Crown of Siam, and was the second American advisor to be awarded the title Phya Kalyanamaitri or "the beautiful in friendship."
