Paradise • Casey Snider — farmer, firefighter, newly minted state legislator — declares sorrowfully that his energy levels have been fading a bit as he approaches the ripe old age of 33.
The Cache County resident used to milk cows every morning before sunrise and then head to school for the day. He used to commute between Utah and D.C., taking the red-eye flight east on Sunday nights so he could start the workweek Monday morning. He used to run on three to four hours of sleep a night.
Now, he needs five, he confessed in a recent interview at his Paradise home.
