Ford Financial Fitness
About us
Our Mission
Ford Financial Fitness was created to help high earners turn their income into long term wealth. We believe that skills and effort that create your paycheck are not the same skills needed to build your wealth.
We act in your interest, don't earn secretive commissions, and are obsessive about preserving and growing your wealth.
At Ford Financial Fitness, we help run your finances so you can run your life.
We are fee only, which means we receive no commissions from any investments we choose for you. You can rest assured each choice we make is for the benefit of your finances and not our own.
​
We are planning for the long run to ensure long term success and not the quick home run. Want to make more money on your investments than your friend this year? We're not the team for you. Want to intelligently achieve your long term goals while living life today? We're your group!
Who is Chris?
When Chris was 12 years old he told his mom he wanted to be a financial planner. Her response, 'no one is going to give you their life savings until you have gray hair."
Still wanting to help people with their finances, he did the second best thing. Went to college, majored in economics, then got an entry level role at a small lender (at the time) Quicken loans.
As Chris's career grew, so did Quicken Loans, transforming into Rocket Mortgage. He became a President's Club banker, Regional Vice President, then most recently a Senior Director.
Helping 15,000+ clients and over 1,000 team members over the last 15 years, his passion for helping folks financially hasn't changed.
Why become a financial planner now? He does have gray hair as his mom suggested, but more importantly after reaching financial independence as a family, they want to help others on that same path.
Who is Megan?
Originally wanting to be doctor to help change lives, Megan attended the University of Michigan and majored Neuroscience. After graduating in three years she followed Chris to Quicken Loans with the thought to reduce the burden of Medical school debt by working for a year or two first.
Over a decade long career Megan worked as a banker, divisional vice president, senior director of banking and a director of strategy.
In that same decade, she had four children, earned a master's in management from Harvard, bought three houses, and visited 22 countries!
While at Rocket Mortgage (formerly Quicken Loans) she noticed wild financial differences between both her clients and her peers. Some households earning over $300,000+ were sinking in crippling debt, while other were building generational wealth. She realized income alone was not the secret to financial success.
