A self-made man and an entrepreneur at heart, Dan Snyder’s life is marked by an enduring passion for the people, the team and the community he loves.

Growing up in the D.C. area and attending Washington Football (then named the Redskins) games with his father, Gerald, his youth and young adulthood were shaped and inspired by his devotion to the team. Snyder has put his passion into action since purchasing the team in 1999, consistently leading the franchise to new prominence in the community, the business world and the National Football League. Under his leadership, the team has raised millions of dollars for charitable efforts and maintained its place in the top tier of the world’s most valuable sports franchises.
