Biography

Duane Snow was born in Charlottesville. Snow’s grandfather founded a "market garden" in 1912 which eventually grew to become Snow's Garden Center.

In 1970, Duane Snow returned to Charlottesville to work for the family business after graduating from Brigham Young University in Utah. He retired from the company in 2005. In April 2009, he and his wife Rena completed an 18-month missionary trip to the Philippines. Snow decided to run shortly after his return.

Before seeking office, prior public service in the community included a term on the Architectural Review Board, service on the board of the local chapter of the American Heart Association, as well as ten years on the Virginia State Agricultural Council. He also co-hosts a radio show about gardening and landscaping that airs Saturday mornings on WINA.

As of 2011, Snow joined the MPO Policy Board.
