A longtime student—and occasional teacher—of yoga, Tristan has completed over 1,000 hours of training and was recognized by Yoga Journal as one of fifteen game-changers in 2021. He previously served on the Board of Directors at Accessible Yoga before its dissolution in 2024, contributing to its mission of expanding access to yoga for marginalized communities.

Currently, they serve as COO and Director of Programming at Fruition Growth Network, a platform dedicated to supporting solopreneurs and small businesses with affordable programming, free trainings, coaching, and community.

Tristan has worked with clients who are leading the way in creating access and inclusion across industries—from yoga to tech—many with social media audiences of 20k+ and features in NPR, The New York Times, NBC, and USA Today. Their clients have partnered with companies like Google, The Met, and TikTok, among others.

In addition to supporting individual business owners, he has collaborated with organizations such as Portland Public Schools, HubSpot, Stanford University’s YogaX program, Port of Portland, Northwest Harvest, Breathe for Change, and Williston Northampton School.

At the heart of his work is a commitment to values-focused marketing, unpacking power and privilege, and exploring the intersection of solidarity and entrepreneurship.
