Ross Haycock, CFP®, CKA®

"Are we going to be okay?" "Are we going to reach our goals?" "Will we be able to live comfortably in retirement?" "Do I have enough?" "Will it always be enough?" These are some of the common questions Ross often receives in initial meetings.

Ross Haycock, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional and Vice President of Summit Wealth Group, entered this industry in 2003, driven by a passion for goal-based, comprehensive financial planning. He recognized a need for a more holistic approach, prioritizing his clients' well-being over mere investment performance. For Ross, his mission is to be a trusted source of personal guidance for his clients, particularly during times of transition.

Having experienced significant life transitions himself, from growing up in a single-parent household to navigating major career changes while raising a family, Ross empathizes with those going through similar journeys. His clients find value through his knowledge in managing the financial aspects of life changes, such as the loss of a loved one, divorce, retirement, children leaving home, career change, sudden windfall, sale or purchase of a business, and more.

People need a game plan in times of transition, and Ross specializes in helping clients find clarity through the confusion, confidence through the chaos, and contentment when they need it most.

As a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA), Ross leverages time-tested principles to guide his clients toward a fulfilling life. He encourages his clients to envision what 'living fully' means to them, and this vision becomes the cornerstone of their relationship. Ross has been recognized by Forbes as a "Best-in-State" Wealth Advisor in 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2025 for his dedication and commitment to his clients’ success.

Ross and his wife, Kaira, have built a close-knit family that continues to grow and fill their lives with joy. The two first met on the football/soccer field at the University of Northern Colorado, where their shared passion for athletics brought them together as NCAA Division II competitors and set the foundation for the life they would build. Today, they enjoy being part of the Peak City Church community, which has become a meaningful place for connection and faith in their lives.

Their oldest daughter, Shea, lives in Durango, Colorado with her husband, Casey, and their children—Mac, Millie, Carter, and their newest little light, Ruby. Their son, Mason, an Environmental Engineer for a Colorado-based engineering firm, makes his home in downtown Denver, where he’s often accompanied by his loyal three-legged dog, Ulu. Their youngest daughter, Kulia, recently stepped into a new and beautiful season of life when she married her husband, Hunter, adding another meaningful connection to the family they cherish so deeply.
