🚨 May Member Spotlight 🚨
As EMS Week approaches later this month (May 17–23), we’re continuing our member spotlights by recognizing someone who has helped shape this squad in countless ways, Chief Kevin Snyder.
Kevin grew up in West Amwell, where he still resides with his wife Sara and sons Luke and Matthew. In 1998, he opened Amwell Automotive, which he co-owns and operates. Over the years, he has built strong personal and professional relationships with clients throughout our community.
Kevin’s path into EMS started as a teenager when he witnessed a seizure and felt helpless. That moment pushed him to take action. He obtained his EMT certification in 1989 and has since helped countless members of our community in times of need. He has also earned multiple technical rescue certifications, including vehicle extrication, water rescue, rope rescue, and boat operations. Throughout most of his rescue squad career, Kevin has served in an official capacity and currently serves as our Chief.
Kevin strongly believes that everyone should volunteer in some capacity. Through his service, he has found purpose, pride, confidence, and lifelong friendships. While he may not ride the ambulance as regularly as he once did, he still responds when needed, assisting on second calls and other incidents. His focus has also shifted toward ensuring the future stability of the organization. As the cost of providing emergency services continues to rise far faster than available funding, Kevin is working to apply his business knowledge and leadership experience to help secure the squad’s long-term sustainability.
In his spare time, Kevin serves as a trustee and treasurer at Sandy Ridge Church. He enjoys working on home projects, fishing, ATV riding, RVing, and spending time outdoors.
Kevin also wants to highlight a growing concern. The future of EMS is uncertain, as increasing expenses and limited funding have become a serious nationwide issue. If you are interested in volunteering or supporting the squad in any way, please reach out.
