Nevin Snow first started sailing in San Diego, California at age eight. Initially, he was nervous sailing solo, but with patient coaches, he learned to love it. Nevin took every chance he had to travel and compete around California as he progressed in the Naples Sabots, Lasers, and CFJ fleets. He was introduced to match racing and started competing at the high school level, quickly improving as a sailor. Over time, he honed his skills and medaled at the Laser Radial U18 Worlds, Youth Match Race Worlds, and World University Games. In the fall of 2013, Nevin attended Georgetown University. College sailing really fueled Nevin’s passion for training and perfecting the details. After eight seasons of hard work, he graduated as a four-time All-American, two-time College Sailor of the Year, two-time Match Race National Champion, and a Fleet Race National Champion.

After graduation, Nevin started sailing the 49er as a skipper in spring 2017. He instantly enjoyed the challenge of sailing the boat and the simplicity of its design. Snow teamed up with Dane Wilson in April 2019 and won athlete selection for Tokyo 2020 but the USA failed to qualify as a country (the second step on the path to Tokyo qualification) and they narrowly missed out on representing the United States in the 49er. Nevin returned to the campaign trail for Paris 2024 with partner Mac Agnese and came in 3rd overall (one point out of 2nd and four points out of 1st) at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Sailing in January 2024 in Miami, FL.
