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.
