Pegatronics Computer Services was founded in 2010 by Peg Bess. Previously she helped develop and manage another local computer support company. In 1989 she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Human Services from Springfield College. As a vocational social worker, she trained people in computer skills and began building what would become Pegatronics.

Previously, Peg received her Associate Degree in Secretarial Science from New Hampshire Vocational-Technical College. She worked as an administrative assistant, where she honed her skills in Windows, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and in organization. It was here that she earned the nickname "Pegatron" because she could always complete the most difficult tasks. Further training at New Hampshire Technical Institute contributed networking, hardware and troubleshooting skills. Born in Maine and raised in New Hampshire, Peg now lives in Sarasota with her dogs Cowboy and ZuZu and cat Eddie.
