Prior to being elected as national chair, Schroder served as national policy chair for the organization. As national policy chair, he provided a voice for SFOF’s member financial officers and promoted policies giving state leaders greater control over the financial issues that impact their constituents.

He is a former narcotics detective and served as a special agent in the United States Army.
