About Sammons Wealth Management
Meet Stephanie Sammons, CFP®
I’m Stephanie Sammons, Founder/Owner of Sammons Wealth Management. I’m a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® Professional and Wealth Manager with more 30 years of experience guiding my clients to and through retirement.
Prior to founding Sammons Wealth Management, I served as a VP-level Financial Advisor and held senior leadership roles at Merrill Lynch and UBS.
After 16 years, I walked away from the corporate world in order to work as my authentic self, serve the clients I truly wanted to serve, and be free of corporate objectives that did not align with the best interests of my clients.
My goal was to create a boutique, client-centric advisory firm that was small by design, and provide hands on personal attention and care to each and every client.
Throughout my career, I’ve been a W2 employee, a senior manager within large financial institutions, and business owner. This varied experience has given me a 360 degree view of career paths, as well as in-depth knowledge about compensation, taxes, and retirement transition strategies.
My wife and I have been together for 20 years, and we have two adult sons as well as two puppy dogs. When I’m not working, I am using the other side of my brain as a performing and recording singer-songwriter. In spring of 2026 I was named a Kerrville New Folk Winner, Wildflower Al Johnson Songwriting Grand Prize winner, Telluride and Rocky Mountain Folks Festival Songwriter Finalist. I’m a big believer in honoring your passions, hobbies, and interests no matter your age. You’re never too old to follow your art!
