Dave Grant
I am a financial planner and have been providing fee-only financial advice to clients since 2007. In 2013, I launched Finance for Teachers, Inc. with the purpose of serving K-12 educators in Illinois, as being married to a teacher made me very familiar with the finances of a teacher. Finance for Teachers is now a leading resource for assisting teachers with their personal finances, with its website being visited by over 70,000 educators each year.
