Norman J. “Skip” Santori
Founder

ChFC®
Skip founded Santori & Peters in 1993 alongside Maria E. Peters, with the conviction that affluent families deserved independent, fee-based advice built around their lives — not products. Over three decades later, that conviction still shapes every client relationship the firm builds.
Skip has served as an adjunct professor at the University of Pittsburgh for more than 20 years, teaching personal financial planning — a role that reflects the firm’s core belief that education is the foundation of every good financial decision.
