Our Agents – Colorado

A Local Presence, A Personal Touch

While Heartland Retirement Group has a national reach, our Scottsdale and Aurora teams are built on local relationships. We believe that navigating Medicare and retirement planning shouldn’t be a solo journey. That’s why our agents prioritize meeting you face-to-face—to listen, to understand your unique needs, and to provide the simple, stress-free guidance you deserve.

Robert Laycock
Managing Partner & Licensed Insurance Agent
Matthew Hall
District sales manager & licensed agent

I am great at problem solving. Being in the business for 15 years now, I have a strong history of helping people in areas that they didn’t realize were areas they could be helped in. Also, I have a Client first mindset, so when I visit someone, I really try to figure out any areas that would benefit them both short and long term. I make myself available and work towards having a long, meaningful relationship.  I handle my business with integrity and strive to bring value wherever and whenever I can.

I would say that my knowledge in the financial planning area makes me an expert compared to most other representatives. I pay very close attention to detail and can simplify what most people would consider confusing aspects of their retirement. I aim to be as professional as possible, while still being empathetic to the needs and goals of the people I visit with.

Jonathan Phi
Licensed Insurance Agent

What sets me apart is that I take the time to truly listen to my clients’ concerns rather than simply trying to make a sale. I believe in building relationships based on trust, communication, and service.

I keep my clients informed throughout the process, follow up regularly, and make myself available whenever questions or concerns arise. My goal is to ensure that every client feels valued, supported, and important—not just like another paycheck. When you work with me, you can expect personalized guidance and someone who genuinely cares about helping you make the best decision for your needs.

Laurel Abbott
Licensed Insurance Agent

I take a personal approach to make retirement planning understandable and easy. I help clients create a personalized, proactive, and protective plan with strategies to protect what they’ve worked hard for and prepare a stress-free future for themselves and their families to support the lifestyle they want.

I focus on and listen to what is most important to my client’s needs because every situation is different. Having a first-hand experience as a caretaker for my grandmother, I understand how to approach difficult conversations and take an education-first approach. Ultimately, my goal is to help my clients understand their options and make informed decisions with confidence and clarity. 

Michael Schwab
Licensed Insurance Agent

I work with a wide variety of companies and products, so I don’t have any bias toward one specific option. My focus is always on understanding each situation and making sure the recommendation truly fits the client’s needs. I prioritize trust in every relationship, whether it’s professional or personal, and I always keep the client’s best interest at the center of what I do. If there’s a way to improve someone’s situation, I make it a point to follow through and execute to the best of my ability.

I also consider myself very approachable and easy to get along with. I can connect with a wide range of people and adapt to different personalities naturally. Once I take the time to get to know someone, I’m able to build strong, long-lasting relationships that are based on consistency, communication, and trust.

Nicholas Ringhofer
Licensed Insurance Agent

People should choose me as their agent because I bring a positive, energetic approach to every interaction. I focus on making sure people feel comfortable, heard, and confident throughout the entire process, so they always know what’s going on and feel supported in their decisions. My goal is to keep things clear and stress-free while still being attentive to the details that matter.  I also work well with other agents and adjust to different working styles. I’m collaborative and able to build off others’ strengths, which helps create a smoother and more efficient experience for everyone involved. I’m able to adapt quickly in different situations and contribute in a way that keeps things moving forward while maintaining a strong focus on the client’s needs.

Tessie Foster
Licensed Insurance Agent

Clients should choose me because I don’t just close transactions—I invest in helping people. As an agent, I combine active listening with a meticulous eye for detail to make sure your needs and interests are always protected. I care about you as a person, and my ultimate goal is to set you up for long-term success. My focus is entirely on you and putting you in the best position for your future, guiding you with genuine care and the support you deserve.

What sets me apart is that I invest in people beyond the “deal.” I take the time to listen closely to your unique concerns and pay attention to the details, so you don’t have to. To me, it’s more than a transactional process—it’s about protecting your peace of mind and making sure you feel confident and supported every step of the way. You’re in good hands with me.
