Introducing Alex Potter, CFP®
I’ve always believed that a solid foundation is the key to success—in life, faith, family, or investing. That belief led me to start Foundation Wealth Management, through which I help individuals and families build financial confidence, navigate life’s challenges, and stay committed to their long-term goals.
I graduated from Michigan State University with a deep appreciation for finance and long-term investing. I entered the financial services industry in 2012, and after over a decade of experience, my entrepreneurial mindset led me to build a firm rooted in clarity, trust, and unwavering guidance.
As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and a Dave Ramsey SmartVestor Pro, I take pride in offering personalized financial strategies that reflect your values, goals, and unique situation. My mission is to be a steady guide. I will help you tune out the noise, avoid emotional decisions, and focus on the long-term plan.
Located in Milford, Michigan, I enjoy embracing the outdoors and the simple pleasures of life. But my greatest joy comes from being with my wife and kids, be it raising chickens, making maple syrup, or going on camping trips together.
When you work with me, you’re not just hiring a financial planner—you’re gaining a trusted partner who’s committed to helping you build a financial future that lasts.
"Family is at the heart of everything I do. My wife, Cassy and our children Isaiah, Johana, and Mia are my greatest motivation, inspiring me to always strive for excellence in work as well as personal life. With this inspiration, I started Foundation Wealth Management as a way to help others protect their legacies for generations to come."
