About Justin Peek, CFP®, CCFC®, CLTC®, AAMS®

Let’s Build Your Ideal Life—Not Just a Financial Plan

I grew up watching my parents build businesses—seeing both their successes and struggles firsthand. That shaped the way I think about financial planning today: it’s not just about investments and tax strategies, it’s about using your money to create the life you want.

At PEEK WEALTH, we work with a small group of families—baby boomers, business owners, and those navigating major financial transitions—to help them plan for retirement, estate, tax, college, and investment decisions. The goal? A work-optional lifestyle where you can live life on your terms.

My background includes 21 years helping hundreds of families retire with peace of mind as a financial advisor with designations like CFP®, CLTC®, CCFC®, and AAMS®. You can learn more about how those help you later! I founded PEEK WEALTH in 2022 to provide deeper, more personalized planning to fewer families—because life isn’t a rehearsal, and your time is your most valuable asset.

Beyond financial planning, I’m a husband, a father to two teenage daughters, a citizen of three countries, a consequent international traveler, and an active member of our community through organizations like Carlsbad Charitable Foundation, Scripps Hospital, and the Helen Woodward Animal Center.

Incredibly helpful college financial planning insights and guidance!

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Dec 18, 2024
I attended a college financial planning seminar with Justin and opted in for the follow up meeting. Really grateful I did given the comprehensive report he provided and insight on what merit based aid was available for our daughter’s very pricey school choices. Feeling far more confident that she can shoot for the stars and I can help her afford to do so. Highly recommend Justin as an advisor!

College Cost Planning

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Dec 12, 2024
Justin has such an impressive background and a personality that is very easy to connect with. College planning can be an emotional roller coaster--there are so many things to consider when looking at target schools, safe schools, and the price tags of all. Justin explained the many different ways to look at the price tags of schools and the in's and outs of how we could go about financing them. He was super helpful in sharing information about FAFSA and all of the different student loan options. Additionally, ways that we could also save on tuition by having our son work on campus, be an RA, etc. No question was ever perceived as a dumb question! I was at ease the entire time when I was with Justin. Thank you again for making this process so much less stressful!

Financial Mapping Masterclass!

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Dec 5, 2024
Not only wisdom and knowledge, but Justin and his team clearly enjoy what they do. It was effortless to quickly develop a rapport with Justin. He thoroughly understands every aspect of this industry and has an innate ability to incorporate financial options that reflect me and my family's values and goals. He's transparent and has a keen ability to communicate complex financial concepts in a way that I was able to understand. He has specialized tools, knowledge and experience with financial planning (retirement and much more) and most importantly for me, financial planning for my child's college journey. It was reassuring to have a brilliant financial brain like Justin to take the time (never rushing or managing the clock) to help me fully understand the scope of my financials. Justin and his team have put their focus on what matters- families futures and I can't imagine trusting any other Financial Advisor.
