Hi, I'm Tristan Gardner
Entrepreneur, real estate investor, and technology leader passionate about building solutions that simplify lives and strengthen communities.
I believe in leading with integrity, empowering others through innovation, and creating long-term value in every venture I touch.
From transforming Ohio's real estate landscape to revolutionizing how courts operate nationwide, my journey blends business growth, technology, and community impact.
My Mission
To build companies and communities that empower people to work smarter, live better, and grow together. I approach every project — whether it's a real estate investment, a new software product, or a local business meetup — with the same goal: to make a meaningful difference and leave things better than I found them.
Professional Snapshot
Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, ezJustice
Leading sales, marketing, and growth initiatives for ezJustice — a software suite that's transforming how courts operate across the U.S. From building products like ezWarrant, ezSupervision, and Jury, to securing statewide rollouts and industry recognition, I help drive innovation in public sector technology.
Founder, Gardner Property Group (GPG)
Head of a local real estate investment company that renovates homes, creates quality rentals, and revitalizes neighborhoods throughout Ohio. We've raised substantial private capital and completed dozens of projects that add value to our communities.
Leader, Mansfield Growth Collective (MGC)
Host of a monthly meetup where entrepreneurs, investors, and local business owners come together to collaborate, share wins, and build ethical, sustainable growth. MGC is all about local impact and shared success.
What Drives Me
Integrity First
Do what's right, even when no one's watching.
Excellence Always
Build with craftsmanship, whether it's code, content, or concrete.
Relationships Matter
People are the foundation of everything we build.
Faith and Purpose
My work, family, and leadership are rooted in my belief that we're called to serve others and build something that lasts.
Speaking & Recognition
I've had the honor of presenting at national conferences and judicial summits, including a session at William & Mary Law School, and sharing the story behind ezWarrant's creation with Franklin Municipal Court. My work in both real estate and technology has been featured in various industry events and communities across the country.
When I’m not building companies or speaking at conferences, I’m:
- Spending time with my wife, Lynsey, and our two daughters, Allie and Chloe.
- Leading a young married couples’ small group at church.
- Coaching a special needs swim team.
- Traveling — often between business opportunities in Ohio and beyond.
