He was born October 2, 1953, the son of Ronald and Arlis (Haskin) Snyder in Austin, Minnesota.
He attended school in Austin and graduated from Austin High School in 1972. After graduation, Ron worked as a machinist at John Deere in Waterloo, Iowa. In 1979, he was involved in a motorcycle accident in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Ron was paralyzed from the waist down from a spinal cord injury. In 1986, Ron moved to Jordan and helped operate and was part owner of the Northern Belle Truck Stop in Belle Plaine for three years.

He attended school for computer-aided drafting and worked for the engineering firm Dunham and Associates. He also started Snyder Services, which assisted with the design drafting for bridges as well as contracting with HGA. He enjoyed working at the computer from the time they first became popular.
