Janeane is honored to have Cork on her show on May 20 at 9:30 AM to share his powerful journey as a veteran cyclist, educator, and mental health advocate—and to discuss what fuels his commitment to leading the Tour de NAMI ride from Pacifica to Oceanside in support of mental health awareness.




Cork Snider has been an educator for 37 years, mostly teaching AP Statistics at La Quinta High School in Westminster for the past 30 years. Known as "Stat Man" around campus, Snider has been blessed to be around incredible students. Snider has also coached basketball and was the athletic director at the school as well.


Snider has created and executed several long distance bike rides with his good friend Rick Burns, who teaches AP History at Loara High School. In 2003, Snider rode across America in the name of organ donation to support a student that needed a new kidney. From 2022 to the the present, Snider and Burns have ridden in the name of mental health. This year's ride, called "Tour de Recovery," goes from San Francisco to Orange County and will be used by NAMI to spread the word about the importance of mental health. The ride goes from May 30 to June 4. There is a rally and mini resource fair on May 28 at 6 pm at La Quinta High School's cafeteria to promote the ride. It is complete with speakers to discuss issues with mental health.


Snider has been married to his wife, Sandy, for 30 years. They have a daughter Morgan and a foster daughter, Ashley, that they took in during her junior year of high school in 2006. She was his student and needed a home.
