"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.

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.
