Snipes was born on September 28, 1968, in Havre to Glenn Stump and Carma St. Marks.  He was raised all over the US, and discovered swimming as a youngster.  He swam competitively for several years in school, and his love of swimming followed him into early adulthood.  During high school, Snipes was invited to try out for the US Olympic Team, but was unable to make the tryouts.  In the early 90's, having been out of competitive swimming for several years, he attended the Pan Am Games and took the gold medal.  He met Annette Stump, and the couple remained together for the past several years.

Snipes enjoyed swimming and spending time with his friends and family.

He was preceded in death by his brothers, Clement "Blue" St. Marks Chief Stick and Michael Rehfeldt; and his grandparents.
