Steve Snyder

Steve grew up on small farms owned by his parents and grandparents in NW Pennsylvania with little exposure to a worldview of agriculture or missions. While attending Penn State (where he met his wife, Marcy), Steve was exposed to a broader view of agriculture through his studies in Ag Economics and to Ag missions by his Mennonite fraternity brothers who took him to meetings at the local Alliance church. Steve and Marcy married in 1973 and have 2 children and 2 grandsons. Steve was employed 40 years by the PA Farm Bureau as IT Director. Looking back, Steve sees God’s fingerprints across the decades, preparing him for this new season of contributing with his Ag and IT background to the work of ECHO.
