St. John's, Newfoundland
Hi, I'm
Tristan.
I'm an entrepreneur based in St. John's, Newfoundland. My partner John and I operate Avalon Vapor and Avalon del Sol, and I spend a lot of my time thinking about business, investing, artificial intelligence—and whatever I'm working on next.

John and I are the co-founders of Avalon Vapor, a Newfoundland retail chain focused on harm reduction that we've grown together from the ground up.
We also operate Avalon del Sol, our vacation rental in Playa del Carmen, Mexico—a project that reflects how much we enjoy the place and the time we spend there.
Outside work, I'm usually playing tennis, training, travelling, or disappearing down a rabbit hole about markets and new technology.
I like thoughtful people, direct conversation, and ideas with some substance behind them.
What keeps me curious
A few things I'm into.
Moving
Tennis, lifting, and running—because consistency has a way of improving almost everything.
Learning
Investing, artificial intelligence, and the long view on where technology can take us.
