After witnessing the collapse of his real estate holdings and stock positions during the 2008 financial meltdown, Schmidt devoted the subsequent years to studying alternative assets that could endure market stress. His research led him to gold, and ultimately to founding GoldIRACustodians.com — a platform dedicated to precious metals, market analysis, and gold IRA strategies.
He has been covering precious metal investing since 2012, and over the years has helped many people find gold IRA companies suited to their investment scope, time horizon, and minimum purchase amounts.
Beyond investing, Schmidt is a recognized publisher. He released a motivational book for aspiring entrepreneurs in 2019 called Amplifying Average, which became a best seller on Amazon. He has also been quoted in outlets such as Tech Times, USA Today, Entrepreneur, and Inc.
On a personal level, Tim describes himself as an SEO and affiliate guy, investor, pickleball fanatic, and tequila YouTube enthusiast. He is also the founder of Until Forever, Inc., a nonprofit organization. Tragically, in late 2024, he suffered the loss of his 19-year-old son, Tim Schmidt Jr., in a shooting incident in Orlando.
Through GoldIRACustodians.com, Schmidt offers transparent, step-by-step guidance on legally investing in precious metals using retirement accounts, with a focus on simplifying how investors view precious metals within retirement planning.
