Who We Are
Equity Shield
Equity Shield was founded in 2020 by John & Rashel Stanczak, driven by a passionate vision to empower servicemembers and veterans on their path to financial independence through real estate ownership. With a continually expanding portfolio encompassing 26 properties and $1.4 million in assets under management, they have forged successful partnerships with veterans across the globe.
John & Rashel's journey towards financial independence began during their college years, burdened with over $75,000 of debt. Determined to change their financial trajectory, they embraced the Dave Ramsey program, which transformed their lives. Through relentless dedication and sacrifice, they conquered their debt and gained a new perspective on how money should work.
For veterans. For communities. For the future.
A veteran-owned company committed to building communities and securing the financial future of veterans and their families. We do this by providing real estate investment resources and partnership opportunities for veterans, and national integrated asset management in growth markets across the nation.
