The Steinbeck Investment Company ("Steinbeck").
American author John Steinbeck explored the struggles of the working class, celebrating humankind’s enduring capacity for greatness in heart and spirit. His protagonists exemplified character, courage and compassion even in the most troubling of circumstances.
They were heroes without ego, and often unsung. Steinbeck appreciated the importance of everlasting honor, character and commitment, the importance of legacies. So much so that we named our firm after one of the most influential American authors of the past century, whose protagonists exemplified the heroic and the good.
