"I'm from the working-class
and
I'm for the working-class"
Tristan grew up a working-class guy in a working-class family. He spent his formative years being raised by a single mom in a trailer on his grandfather's farm in south eastern Massachusetts. He's worked a bunch of different jobs -- he has worked in food service, spent some time in special education, lifted boxes in a liquor store stockroom, and even worked security at the House of Blues Boston. He eventually put himself through law school because he recognized, as a working person, that the system is rigged against working people. As Tristan puts it, "In a million little ways, working folks are kept in debt and kept poor by financial, legal, and political systems that are designed to keep them down."
Since getting his juris doctorate from New England Law | Boston in 2015, Tristan has dedicated his career to serving the public interest. He spent time as a legal analyst in the student loan assistance unit of then-Attorney General Maura Healey trying to help residents of the Commonwealth. After that, he began working in data privacy at Boston Medical Center. He is currently an attorney at a state agency where he practices privacy law.
Tristan has also written numerous columns for the Salem News where he touches on issues of national politics, democracy, and the rule of law.
He moved to Peabody in 2013 after falling in love with a Peabody girl. He's now married with four kids in the public school system.
