Tristan was educated in two Gaelscoileanna in Bray, starting in Scoil Chualann primary school and completing his secondary education in St Kilians.

Next, he joined the UK tour of Simply Ballroom and, after a successful tour in London and Las Vegas, went on to Australia and America where he toured as a featured dancer with Burn the Floor and Floorplay.
After numerous world tours and a year teaching Ballroom and Latin dancing in Boston, he returned to Europe to join the cast of Dirty Dancing as Dance Captain. He then did a second stint in London's West End.
