Paul Snider grew up in Johnson County and has chosen to raise his family here because of the quality of life that makes our community unique. A part of what makes Johnson County special is Johnson County Community College and how it impacts students and businesses.
A graduate of Shawnee Mission South High School, Paul attended Washburn University in Topeka on a football scholarship, graduating with a degree in mass media. His time in Topeka led to a job as a legislative and regulatory consultant for AT&T, and later, public affairs roles with KCP&L, Brightergy, a commercial rooftop solar company, and the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority, which provides service under the RideKC brand. While at all his roles, Paul worked with community stakeholders to advance local issues. |
