Jesse Snyder

As Principal Web Consultant, Jesse not only designs and builds websites for NPower clients, but is also responsible for keeping track of new technologies that have potential to solve the problems facing the nonprofit sector. Jesse spent ten years in the natural foods industry before transitioning to the nonprofit sector.  Prior to joining NPower in 2006, he worked for a nonprofit community development organization in West Seattle.

Outside of work, Jesse spends as much time as possible playing and listening to music. He is approaching his 20-year anniversary as a member of Seattle-based Gamelan Pacifica, a musical ensemble devoted to the performance of music for gamelan in the U.S. He is also a supporter of a project that aims to sustain traditional arts in Central Java.

Favorite tech tool: TextMate - “As a typical software developer, I’d have to pick my text editor.  It does what I need it to do exceptionally well, and doesn’t try to do too much.”

Favorite quote: “I’d never join a club that would have me as a member.” -Groucho Marx

Fun fact: Jesse once tipped a wombat on an outing in Northern Tasmania.
