Born on December 24, 1959, Schneider is a certified public accountant and former chief financial officer. He first cashed at the WSOP in 2002. He finished 36th in the Main Event last year, his best result in the Main Event.

He won two bracelets at the 2007 WSOP, and was named WSOP Player of the Year.
