Paul Layton - Root Financial

Hi. 👋
I’m Paul Layton.

I’ve been helping families get the most life out of their money for 8 years. After witnessing the profound impact it can have on enhancing the quality of people’s lives, financial planning became a passion.

I put great effort into building genuine relationships with the people I work with. I treat every new engagement like I would if they were a family member—with the highest level of care.

Before joining Root in 2024, I worked at Empower, Personal Capital, and Goldman Sachs Ayco. Each role brought me new wisdom and exposed me to a myriad of approaches to financial health. This diverse experience helps me give clients more holistic advice.

I also have a background in sports. A highlight of my career was making it to mini-camp with the Green Bay Packers. The competitive drive of my coaches and teammates helped shape a winning attitude that I bring to my financial advice today.

Originally from Upstate NY, I moved to Colorado in 2016 and now call it home with my wife, Breanna, and our two cats and dog. During football season, I’m probably near a television watching the games. I also enjoy exploring the beautiful Colorado outdoors and checking out local breweries in my free time.

I’d love the opportunity to help you.
