You can’t teach the kind of passion John Schindler displays in his role as Managing Director. Nor can you slow it down. John’s unique vision for a hands-on personal approach to financial planning was ignited back when he first learned to follow and trade individual stocks. Today, that vision is a reality at Peninsula Wealth, where John oversees a diverse team of specialists spanning multiple generations. This elite group manages nearly three quarters of a billion dollars in assets, helping more than 100 past and present business owners achieve wealth beyond their highest expectations.

John leads by example. He personally manages high net wealth clients – and enthusiastically welcomes every complex challenge put before him. He has successfully grown portfolios through multiple market corrections and recessions, when competitors were happy just to break even. John emphasizes service, and has pioneered strategies that allow clients to control their own futures.

John believes the best plans are built on a foundation of each client’s individual objectives and goals. This includes extra-mile efforts like working with clients’ attorneys and accountants, and regular portfolio reviews throughout the year. 

John is a good listener and strategic thinker who values honesty and trust above all else. "People hire me to tell them the truth." He consistently foresees opportunities others miss. This allows him to critically weigh his clients’ best options, and help identify potential “blind spots” before they can take hold. He cherishes the calls he gets every week from clients wishing to thank him personally.

John is a family man of strong faith. He and his wife Shaine enjoy golf, skiing and numerous other activities with their three children. He supports various charities, and serves as treasurer for the Notre Dame Prep Boosters Club.
