Originally from Cornwall and finishing his schooling in Plymouth, Tristan relocated to Suffolk in 1995 when he joined the Army Air Corps and received a posting to Wattisham Airfield.  Tristan served 23 years in the British Army, including a tour of Northern Ireland, 2 tours of Bosnia, 2 tours of Iraq and 4 tours of Afghanistan.  He reached the rank of Warrant Officer Class 2, where he carried out the roles of Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant and Operations Warrant Officer for the Apache helicopter training squadron.

Tristan and his family  lived in Ipswich for most of his service life and, prior to retiring from the Armed Forces, they relocated to Trimley St Mary and have resided there for the past decade.  Tristan  is married and has 2 children; his daughter finished at Felixstowe High School recently and his son is currently a student there.

Since leaving service life, Tristan set up his own property maintenance company, which he has run and managed for the past 10 years in the Felixstowe area.  His children keep him busy, with his son being a regional swimmer and keen rugby player in Felixstowe, and the whole family being certified SCUBA divers.

Tristan  stood for the Reform UK party as the first councillor to be elected in the Suffolk Coastal area.  He is passionate about our country and what we need to stand for as a sovereign nation, along with supporting our veterans and all the residents of Walton and Felixstowe.
