Professional Profile

Steve Schnell is a trusted Health, Life, and Retirement Planner with over 30 years of experience in customer care and sales. As the founder of Schnell Senior Services & Insurance in Arizona, he brings a wealth of knowledge and a unique perspective to his clients, thanks to his extensive background in retail, training, and leadership, complemented by a Bachelor's degree in Business from Concordia University.

Steve Schnell has earned the National Social Security Advisor program, demonstrating advanced expertise in Social Security claiming strategies.

A proud veteran of the Army National Guard, Steve served nearly a decade, including a tour during Operation Iraqi Freedom, reflecting his commitment to service and dedication to his community. Since transitioning to the insurance world in 2011, Steve has been an independent agent since 2013, giving him direct access to a variety of insurance providers that many agents cannot offer. This independence allows him to find the best options tailored to each client's unique needs.

Steve is passionate about helping families navigate the complexities of health, life, and retirement planning, ensuring they secure a better future. His client-first philosophy means you can expect prompt, personalized service, with “same day or next day” responses to your inquiries, bypassing long hold times typical with larger providers.

As a member of a blended family with five children, including a son with Autism, Steve understands the importance of tailored planning for diverse family needs. His love for fishing, family games, and traveling enriches his life, and he is dedicated to making a positive impact in the Arizona Valley, where he has been serving for over six years. Currently helping clients across eight states and looking to expand, Steve Schnell is your reliable partner in securing your financial future and navigating social security strategies effectively.
