Sojourn’s Founder & CEO

Tristan Petricca, originator and CEO of Sojourn Properties LLC, has always had a passion for helping others. As a twenty-seven year old, he started his first venture in digital marketing and since then has developed two more companies based in California which advise small business owners on market strategies to promote and sell their specific goods and services.

His focus on having a strong Internet presence has helped many struggling companies navigate the complex world of website development that ultimately connects potential customers/clients with their businesses.

Tristan’s passion for business development emanates from a family of business owners and entrepreneurs who started a journey of their own through hard work and dedication. His family values and code of ethics is the rudder that has steered his companies’ abilities to compete fairly and with integrity in the workplace.

As a testament to that passion, Tristan’s grandfather, Basilio Petricca immigrated to New York from Italy at the age of 16, unaccompanied, and knowing no English. He carried a small backpack and a big dream; that one day he would have his own company. In 1936 Petricca Construction was founded with the humblest of equipment, a wheelbarrow and a shovel.

Over the course of many years, the company grew under the leadership and vision of Basilio’s three sons, Peter, Basil, and Robert. Following great educations, years of strategic planning and the hiring of an outside board of directors, the evolution of Petricca Construction into Petricca Industries was inevitable as new phases of business, as well as new markets, opened the door to many years of growth and success. Tristan’s father, Robert, the youngest son, spent 30 years at the helm, retiring in 2007.

In addition to the technical aspects of business development, aesthetics play a supporting role in Tristan’s latest venture, Sojourn Properties LLC. Art and interior design were and still are his mother’s passion and business which inspired a sensibility in him. His regard for interior and exterior space adds a special dimension to what Sojourn Properties offers as surroundings must be safe, pleasant, and functional. Each property must meet or exceed these criteria to be part of the Sojourn family. While Sojourn has evolved from his heritage and DNA, he aspires to build this new venture to a level that benefits property owners and guests alike.

Tristan lives in Cave Creek, Arizona with his wife Rachel, their son, and their three pets. He coaches boys’ lacrosse at Cactus Shadows High School as well as in the Cave Creek Youth Lacrosse program. He is a competitive pistol and 3-gun shooter and enjoys playing sports including lacrosse, ice hockey, and golf.
