Biography
Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Kindel attended the public schools and St. Augustine's School in Cincinnati. Beginning in 1871, he apprentice as an upholsterer and mattress maker before relocating to Denver, Colorado in 1877. He worked throughout his career in the upholstery, mattress, and furniture business.

He served as a member of the board of supervisors of the city and county of Denver from 1910 to 1914.
In 1912, Kindel won election as a Democrat to the Sixty-third Congress, which convened from March 4, 1913 to March 3, 1915. In 1914, rather than seek re-election, Kindel instead ran for the U.S. Senate, first as a Democratic candidate and then, after leaving the party, as an independent. In a field of five candidates, Kindel placed fifth, receiving 4.5% of the vote.
Death
After leaving Congress, he resumed his former business pursuits in Colorado.
