Peter Schiff Bio

Peter founded Northwood Ventures in 1983 after working in private equity at Warburg Pincus and in the corporate division of what is now JPMorgan Chase.

Peter was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws by Lake Forest College after long service as a trustee and chairman of its board. And he has served as an advisor and board member for numerous regional and community organizations. Peter has three grown children and lives primarily in Florida with his wife. He enjoys fly fishing, bird hunting, golf, travel and family time, especially with his 11 grandchildren.
