Robbie Petrillo, QPA™, QKA®

Advisor

Whenever conversations turn to financial decisions, I lean in. I have always been drawn to helping people think through the money questions that feel complicated, important, or personal. Over time, that natural curiosity and desire to serve more directly led me to transition into advisory work.

Before joining TCI Wealth Advisors, I spent more than a decade in the retirement plan space as Director of Business Development at Pinnacle Plan Design. I partnered closely with financial advisors and business owners to design and manage 401(k) and pension plans, developing deep experience in retirement strategy and the role tax planning plays in long-term financial planning.

Throughout my career, I worked alongside many financial advisors, including several at TCI. What stood out to me was the firm’s combination of technical depth and principled advice. Joining TCI felt like a natural progression and an opportunity to focus more directly on individual wealth management.

I am a Tucson native and proud U of A alumnus and sports fan. My wife and I are raising our two grade school daughters here, and I value the opportunity to serve the community that has shaped my life. Outside of work, I enjoy coaching their softball teams, golfing, cycling, and attending improvisational rock concerts with friends.

happiness

What brings you happiness and fulfillment in your life?

I love meeting new people and learning their stories. Additionally, helping others with a problem or task, no matter how small or large it may be, also fills my cup! If I can do both and help a new connection solve a problem, now THAT is a good day.

passion

Describe your passion for the industry and your role:

I’ve always been drawn to the strategic side of financial planning, especially where retirement planning and tax strategy intersect. I enjoy digging into the details while keeping the bigger picture in focus, helping clients evaluate decisions that support both their present and future goals.

favorite

Favorite part of TCI:

Before joining TCI, I had the opportunity to work closely with several advisors here. I was consistently impressed by the integrity of the team and the way client relationships are handled with care and long-term perspective. That environment makes the work both meaningful and rewarding.

Robbie's Financial Tip

Don’t let daily market swings dictate long-term decisions.
Your 401(k) and IRA are built for decades, not days. Markets naturally rise and fall, and checking your balance too often can make normal volatility feel alarming. That emotional reaction is what leads many investors to sell at the wrong time.

 

Instead of focusing on short-term account fluctuations, focus on what truly drives long-term success: consistent contributions, proper diversification, and staying invested.

 

Short-term noise. Long-term growth.
