Andrew “Andy” M. Snyder co-founded the Snyder Center for Aphasia Life Enhancement (SCALE) in 2008, which merged with The League for People with Disabilities in November of 2014, effectively improving the quality of life for people living with aphasia and their families in Maryland. Andy founded Snyder Bros. Contractors, Inc. in 1984, acquired Kitchen Saver of Baltimore, Inc. in 1987, and was the Owner and Operator of Bath Fitter franchises throughout Maryland, Washington, D.C. and Virginia until his retirement in 2012. He was the President of the Maryland Improvement Contractors Association (MICA) from 1998-2000 and appointed by the Governor to serve on the Maryland Home Improvement Commission for fourteen years as a Home Improvement Commissioner. Snyder Capital, LLC currently operates as a consulting company to clients in the remodeling industry. Andy has also just finished his seventh season as Assistant Lacrosse Coach at New Town High School in Owings Mills but despite his many years of philanthropy, advocacy, volunteerism, and consulting, Andy is most proud to be The League’s “Real Beard Santa” for holiday festivities.
