Greg J. Geryak
Greg Geryak originally a New Jersey native moved with his wife Lina to Phoenix (Ahwatukee) AZ, in 1993. After fifteen years of a successful corporate life, Greg pursued his dream of being self-employed and in February of 2002 opened his first insurance and financial services agency. After building his agency from 0 to over 3000 clients Greg sold his firm in 2015 to pursue areas of the industry that he enjoys the most. His next venture included helping to found Next Step Advisors, LLC, with the goal to simplify the Medicare process and help even the most educated people navigate this complex system. Through his years of experience regardless of where his clients live Greg always provides a high level of personal service that people deserve and appreciate.
Greg’s success was built at a grassroots level helping one family at a time. He helped his community by volunteering for many local organizations such as the Ahwatukee YMCA, Chamber of Commerce and Kiwanis. As a community leader, Greg was quickly recognized as someone who put others’ interests ahead of his own.
His drive to help people transition to Medicare comes from his personal experience with his father. Greg’s dad at age 68 was hospitalized for 128 days straight due to an infection he acquired while in the hospital for a routine procedure. Through that long journey, which thankfully his dad survived, showed Greg how important making the correct Medicare decision can be.
Greg has been married to Lina for nearly 30 years and has one daughter Summer who is attending Nursing school. In his free time, he enjoys home projects, playing his guitar, and exercising with their dogs.
Bob Spencer
“I believe in doing the right thing, for the right reasons,” Bob emphasizes, “and I understand my clients’ changing needs and priorities at the various stages in their lives.”
Bob has been married for 39 years to Paula, who has also had a long career in the insurance industry as an insurance agency owner and an agent. They have two daughters and a son. Bob enjoys playing golf with his friends and is learning classical guitar, which he says keeps him mentally young.
Anthony Mayorga
Anthony is originally from Los Angeles, where he grew up playing 3 sports, primarily baseball, where he was a pitcher. He went to Azusa Pacific University, where he pitched on the baseball team until he suffered a career-ending shoulder injury. After failing to get the proper medical treatment to be able to get back out on the field, he found his new passion was helping people get the best help the first time they ask for it. After learning about medicare and joining an insurance carrier, he found quick success with helping seniors get insurance they need that makes sense to them. And after spending captive time there, he decided to become independent so he could serve clients that would like to have a wider range of plans and options to choose from.
Anthony is currently engaged to his beautiful fiancé, Carson Edwards. They live together with their Jack Russel Terrier puppy, Jordi. They enjoy hiking, eating great food, and playing with their puppy in their spare time.
Lori Edwards
Lori Edwards brings a unique perspective to Next Step Advisors: she was a nurse for 35 years. Even as a child in Scottsdale, she was fascinated by nurses at doctors’ offices and decided that she wanted to be one when she grew up. She specialized in pediatric nursing but has worked in many areas of the field including the Emergency Room, Intensive Care Unit, and Urgent Care for newborns, children, and adults. She applies her medical knowledge in her work at Next Step Advisors on a regular basis, especially as she helps clients navigate Medicare’s Part D, prescription formulary guidelines, and different tiers of medications. Naturally empathetic, she sees her new career as a congruent extension of her work helping people.
“I bring the heart of a nurse and a sympathetic ear to my interactions with our clients,” Lori says. “I care for them in a special way and want them to be protected with the right insurance and Medicare plans.”
Lori has been married to Jeff Edwards, for over 27 years. They have three daughters: Brenan (26), Carson (23), and Jaden (20). Her passions are her faith and her family, along with gardening, cooking, music, and health and wellness.
