Andy Martinez

Financial Planning Associate

I’ve always believed financial planning is really life planning, with money serving as a tool to support the people, goals, and experiences that matter most. As a Financial Planning Associate at TCI, I’m passionate about helping clients better understand their financial lives and think through the decisions that shape their future.

My interest in financial planning started long before I realized it could become a career. As a kid, I saved birthday money and tracked each “deposit” in a notebook. Later, while working to pay for college and beginning my career in sales, I developed a deeper appreciation for responsibility, listening, relationship-building, and thoughtful decision-making. Over time, I found myself spending more of my free time learning about financial planning, running retirement projections, and helping family members think through their goals. Eventually, I realized what I thought was a personal interest was actually the career path I wanted to pursue.

I’m a proud Tucsonan and a graduate of the University of Arizona’s Eller College of Management. Tucson has been home since my family moved here from Mexico when I was seven, and I credit my family values and life experiences with shaping who I am today. Outside of the office, my wife, Maggie, and I enjoy trying new restaurants, traveling, going to concerts, and spending time with our two dogs, Pancho and Penny.

 

Para mí, la planeación financiera es, en realidad, una forma de planeación de vida, en la que el dinero es una herramienta para apoyar a las personas, metas y experiencias que más importan. Como Financial Planning Associate en TCI, me apasiona ayudar a las personas a entender mejor su vida financiera y pensar cuidadosamente en las decisiones que pueden influir en su futuro.

Mi interés por las finanzas comenzó desde muy joven, incluso antes de darme cuenta. De niño, me gustaba ahorrar mi dinero y anotar cada “depósito” en una libreta. Más adelante, mientras trabajaba para pagar mis estudios universitarios y comenzaba mi carrera en ventas, desarrolle la habilidad de escuchar, construir relaciones y tomar decisiones de manera consciente. Con el tiempo, me di cuenta de que lo que consideraba un interés personal era, en realidad, el camino profesional que quería seguir.

Tucson ha sido mi hogar desde que mi familia se mudó de México cuando yo tenía siete años. Me gradue de Eller College of Managementt de la Universidad de Arizona, y creo que mis valores familiares y experiencias de vida han influido mucho en la persona que soy hoy. Fuera de la oficina, mi esposa Maggie y yo disfrutamos viajar, ir a conciertos, probar nuevos restaurantes y pasar tiempo con nuestros dos perros, Pancho y Penny.

Describe your passion for the industry and your role.

I discovered my passion for financial planning before I fully realized it could become a career. Before joining TCI, I often spent my free time learning about financial topics, running retirement projections, and thinking through ways to create more financial security for my family. Eventually, I realized the work I was doing for myself was something I wanted to help others with as well. That realization led me to make a career change and pursue a role that felt more aligned with what motivates me: helping people.

Awards

What is your favorite piece of financial advice?

One of my favorite pieces of financial advice is to understand what “enough” means for you. It can be easy to feel like you always need more, but defining what is truly important and setting thoughtful parameters around your goals can bring a healthier perspective to financial decisions.

What brings you happiness and fulfillment in your life?

My family and friends bring me the most happiness and fulfillment. So much of what I do is centered around creating more meaningful time with my wife, my brothers, my parents, and the people I care about most
