[edit] Biography
Snare is the son of Buck and Barbara Snare. He has two brothers and one sister. From an early age, he showed interest in being a singer. He is a classically trained pianist. Eventually, his family moved to Lock Haven, Pennsylvania where he attended Lock Haven High School. After graduating, he moved to Orlando, Florida, where he studied theatre at Rollins College, but changed to a career in music after a while.
Some time later, he moved to the Carolinas, where he met bassist Perry Richardson. Together, they formed a band called Maxx Warrior and eventually formed FireHouse with guitarist Bill Leverty and drummer Michael Foster. The band enjoyed great success during their initial years with several #1 songs and gold and platinum records around the world (see main article about the band.)
Nowadays, even though the band doesn't enjoy the same level of success it did, they still tour frequently around the world and are still recording albums.
Snare keeps his voice in shape by warming up before shows. He doesn't smoke and says that he doesn't drink any alcohol while he's on the road. He currently resides in Wisconsin with his 3rd wife Brenda Snare and has a daughter, Heather.
