Pat grew up in southern California until he moved to London for four years with his family. He met his wife Dianna after his dad retired and they moved to Magalia. He received his degree and Teaching Credential from Chico State and was lucky enough to have Faith Lutheran member Dave Barnum as his mentor. Pat is entering his 32nd year of teaching. He and Dianna have two sons, Mitch and Will who grew up in Durham, and more importantly here at Faith Lutheran. The Snyders have been members here since 1996 and have enjoyed all of the wonderful people, relationships, and friends they have here at Faith. "What a blessing to be a part of the Faith community!" says Pat.
