Tristan loved getting dressed up and going out to dinner with his mother and sister and enjoyed fine food and good company. He loved to cook and often talked about becoming a chef. His smile was infectious and he brought much laughter to family gatherings. Tristan had a need for speed. He loved to ski and from an early age was a competitive ski racer. He was an avid motorcross racer as well and proudly wore the number 369.

Tristan attended John Stark Regional High School in Weare, New Hampshire, and went on to work for JCR, as an experienced driver, groundman, and pole-setter.
