Meet Our Professionals

Peg brings who she is to what she does. She lives her values – in and out of the office. In fact, she’s so devoted to realizing those values, they seamlessly blend her personal and professional lives. While Peg strives to help her clients live their best lives, she is driven by the same mantra. She believes deeply in filling her own days with meaning and purpose, and simultaneously focuses on empowering her clients to be able to do the same. For Peg, life is not about one single moment, it’s about the full collection of moments. It’s this conviction that defines how she guides clients as well, taking a holistic approach in which all decisions are connected to the priorities, passions and goals that make a life.

Peg integrates relationships and planning. In fact, she believes you can’t have one without the other. To be an effective financial steward for clients requires Peg to have a deep understanding of who they are – from their responsibilities and plans to their fears and dreams. She takes pride in her client relationships and in her reputation as a dynamic, tenacious client advocate committed to candor without malice and modeling the fact that actions speak louder than words.

In 2006, Peg created Stutzmann – Moore Wealth Management Group of Wells Fargo Advisors with her husband, Mark.
