Grant Bradley is a commercial real estate agent representing dentists and other healthcare professionals through CARR Healthcare Realty. He was introduced to Affordable Dental Care in the summer of 2019 by a mutual dental colleague. After meeting with ADC 's executive director, Krysta, it was apparent to Grant that the leaders and staff at ADC are passionate about making a difference in their community and, as he put it, 'you don 't find that every day.' Ever since that first meeting, Grant has been generous with his time and energy and he is honored to be joining the Board of Directors. Grant resides in Madison with his wife, Helen, and their two Brittany spaniels, Ruby and Copper. He grew up in Grand Rapids, MI, and attended college at Western Michigan University to study business and marketing. For almost a decade, he worked with a Fortune 500 company, Genuine Parts Company, as a sales manager covering Wisconsin. He then shifted over to work for Dometic, a world leader in the marine industry, as a national accounts manager covering North America. This position allowed Grant to see the world, but after three years of being on the road for 40+ weeks out of the year, it was time to shift his focus and energy to a career that was closer to home.

Tim Buck is the founder of Affordable Dental Care. With a seminary degree and background in marriage and family counseling, Tim spent nearly 44 years in dental sales before retiring and founding ADC with a goal to take his knowledge of the field and use it to lovingly serve those in need based on the Jesus model of caring for both spiritual and physical needs of our neighbors. Tim founded ADC in late 2009 in Whitewater, WI and also served on the board of directors which later voted to merge the Whitewater location with the Madison location in order to provide ample parking, handicap accessibility and preserve greatly reduced treatment fees by combining clinic resources. Officially retired in 2019, Tim remains an Emeritus board member and monthly supporter of Affordable Dental Care.

Dr. Robb Warren is the owner and dentist at Warren Family Dental. He has been involved with ADC since the very beginning and is now recognized as a board member emeritus. 'I got involved with ADC in 2009 when founder Tim Buck reached out and asked me to join his mission. I was honored and leapt at the opportunity. Since that time it has been amazing to see the blessing we have continued to receive as we have grown and evolved to what we are today. God continually puts people in our path, connecting them to ADC and allowing us to create personal relationships with our patients, our ADC team, and most importantly our community. All of this contributes to growing the mission and serving others. I sincerely feel access to dental care is not a privilege but a right as it is a critical part of overall health. Affordable Dental Care helps make dental care available to everyone from every walk of life and I feel blessed to be a part of it.'
