About Dave Grant

Now let’s get to know Dave a little better. 

First and foremost, Dave’s first trip to Disney World was as a 39-year-old and it ended up being the best vacation of his life — and he can’t wait to go back. That should tell you everything you need to know about Dave. But why stop there?

Of course Dave is a planner and you can find him on Mondays and Wednesdays playing pickleball and video games. With the rest of his freetime, Dave is an avid reader with a love for anything by James Patterson, but he also is a great writer. He has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, and Reuters, just to name a few. It helps that he was named one of the top 100 advisors in the country by Investopedia in 2020 so he knows what he is talking about.

It goes without saying that Dave’s clients are the lifeblood of his business and his goal is to hear their stories, help them discover their dreams, and make those dreams a reality with the appropriate financial strategies. His best piece of advice is seek to understand the joy you can find by empowering the life of a client — it’s better than the paycheck. And this advice helped him get to where he is today!
