Richard Snow has been looking after our in-house accounting needs since 2001. He has been working in Accounting and Bookkeeping for over 40 years and finds the work constantly evolving, challenging and rewarding.

Richard is a member of the PEI Writers Guild. He has one published story, Kennebecasis, a childhood memoir, published in Snow Softly Falling, Acorn Press, 2015. Kennebecasis is part of a work in progress about the open roads of his life.

Richard and his wife Wendy live in the century-old farmhouse that she grew up in, on the outskirts of Summerside. Richard enjoys the whole cycle of growth and renewal, from planting, watering and weeding; to harvesting, seed-saving, and preserving.

“From the front window of our living room, past the twin chestnut trees that frame our home, I can see four silent windmills rotating lazily against the backdrop of Malpeque Bay. Behind us, we look out on a flower garden filled with the yearly promise of lilies, glads, lavender, and tulips; nestled in the shade of lilac bushes and linden and maple trees. Across our yard, in the shade of a wildflower meadow, our organic vegetable garden rewards us with heirloom tomatoes, beans, peas, peppers, onions, garlic, carrots, parsnips and cucumbers, and a dozen varieties of herbs. Our lives are rooted in the soil, in the air, and the sea that surrounds us.”
