Growing up he attended the Amazing Grace Conservatory (AGC) co-founded by Wendy Raquel Robinson, where he was able to further hone his craft in theater, bringing characters to life on stage. Tristen went on to attend the King Drew Magnet High School of Medicine and Science. There he became friends with Issa Rae, the woman would eventually give him his first big break with The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl. While Tristen originally thought he would go into the medical field, even studying science, math, and engineering at California State University Northridge, but the arts kept calling his name. While working at the Apple store he landed one of his first big jobs on Insecure, and he has been booking back-to-back film and television projects ever since.
