John was born into a one-of-a-kind, warm, tight-knit family on December 10th, 1981, in Rochester, NY. He was the son of John and Linda Schneider. Love, laughter, and loyalty are a way of life for the Schneider family and have guided the principles of how John lived his life.

John demonstrated remarkable ambition and drive. At the age of 17, He launched his first business, Custom Computers, all while still attending Midlakes High School. This venture laid the foundation for a prestigious career in Business Systems Technology. He graduated with honors with his Bachelor’s degree from Rochester Institute of Technology. As John’s career developed, his recruitment to United Technologies led to his relocation to Connecticut. Over the years, he earned recognition for his innovation, leadership, and unwavering work ethic as he worked with Pratt & Whitney, Sikorsky, and Carrier.

Just as John poured countless hours into his dedication to his business as an Independent Consultant, he also took on projects big and small as a self-taught home renovator, working diligently on remodeling his home. He approached all work tasks in his life with thoughtfulness and determination. His work ethic was unmatched - steadfast and driven by genuine love for learning.
