About J. Robert Schannep, CFP, AIF, CEPA

Besides traveling in a school bus RV, I am a third-generation financial professional.  Having benefited from kitchen-table discussions around the world of money and investments, I decided to pursue studies in psychology and the rich world of literature to better understand what gives meaning and purpose in our lives.   Often, there is more investment wisdom to be found in poetry than in the Wall Street Journal.

Wisdom such as patience, commitment to vision, and having a long-term view on life.

After working in social services for several years, I was struck by how often a person’s relationship with money affects their whole lives.

Outside The Office

Outside the office, I love loving my 5 children, my inspiring wife, and playing with our Goldendoodle named Sunny.  I play guitar every day to keep my sanity.  I also enjoy, meditating, praying, and journaling to connect withe myself every day.

As a family, we are committed to our own life vision and have innumerable hobbies and interests such as homsechooling our young children, incessant travel and exploration, sustainable living, entrepreneurialism, art, and music.

We are also committed to service and have served as foster parents and temporary guardians for others.  I would encourage you to look for ways that you can give to others as well.  So much joy and meaning can come from truly giving.
