Dan Huffman is a Financial Planner and Founder of Cornerstone Financial Planning.


I found the Financial Independence (FI) community back in 2015 while on deployment. So much has changed in my life and my mindset between then and when I recently ended my 17-month sabbatical after leaving my full-time job as an active-duty Army Officer and Physical Therapist. While I loved my time in the Army and loved "serving those who serve us," I just couldn't deny my desire to have more freedom and flexibility with more time at home with my young son and wife. So, in 2019, I began taking steps toward creating my ideal life. And while I did (and still do!) love serving in the Army and taking care of Soldiers and their families, I began setting myself up to transition careers. I knew that my passion for teaching and helping others with their finances could be more than a hobby that I did over lunch, after work, and through my church. So, in the fall of 2021, I switched from active duty to the Reserves and began the Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) coursework. I completed the program and passed the CFP® Exam in July 2022. I wanted to get the highest level of education and credential available as a financial planner because I believe that my clients deserve to have the peace of mind of knowing that they're working with someone who has put in the extra work to be able to develop more comprehensive and thorough plans rather than merely being an insurance or mutual fund salesman.  Having passed the CFP® exam but not having yet met the experience requirement, I'm currently a "Candidate for CFP® Certification." My wife and I love living intentionally to create our ideal life now, not waiting for retirement to begin enjoying things. I am focused on helping people pursue life and financial freedom so that they can create the life they want to live TODAY because tomorrow isn't promised, but regrets of waiting to start almost always are. My areas of specialty are entrepreneurship, real estate investing, and factor investing.
