Hi, my name is Tristan, I grew up in the goldfields just outside of Castlemaine. It was here where I did my apprenticeship with a local builder specialising in high end and alternative architectural homes.
Not long after I completed my apprenticeship I left Australia to travel and live abroad. This led me to eventually settle in the UK and I spent the next 8 years living in London, working on a number of high end residential sites throughout central London. At first as a carpenter but I soon worked my way up through the ranks as a leading hand, a foreman and eventually site manager. It was in London where I met my partner, and now fiancée, Julie. She had always wanted to move to Australia and after COVID I was ready to return home too and set up a life for us together here in Melbourne.
After a stint in commercial construction when I first got back to Melbourne I have now made my way back to where my real passion lies, in high end residential construction. And that's how I came to be with Glenn and the team at K2 homes. Outside of work I spend my time white water kayaking, hiking in the mountains or fishing in the streams. I also play soccer for St Kilda Celtic FC and support Liverpool.
