The day his dad took him to see Star Wars on the big screen was the day Todd knew what he was meant to do the rest of his life. As a boy, he experimented behind the camera making short films with the help of his family and friends and his grandfather's 8mm camera.

Today Todd is a creative director, producer and writer who has enjoyed a career both in front and behind the camera. His favorite role, however, has always been that of a storyteller. He has over 20 years of experience working with The Walt Disney Company and other well-known consumer brands including ESPN, ABC, Pixar, Lucasfilm, Smucker's, Jif, Folgers, The Orlando Magic, Atlantis and NASA. Todd also boasts a modest resume of award-winning films.

His most recent is the 2022 Emmy nominated "Woman In Motion" (Paramount+) which chronicles the story of Star Trek's Nichelle Nichols and her epic journey to bring diversity to our space program after standing up and asking NASA the question: "Where are my people?" In 2022, "Woman In Motion" was named an ambassador film for the American Film Showcase (AFS), a partnership with the Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and USC's School of Cinematic Arts.

Todd is putting the finishing touches to his next feature film project, "Pre Fab!", the story of one man, his drums and the band that became The Beatles. He is also working on the authorized documentary film The Runaway about rock-n-roll legend Del Shannon and the film What Hugh Knew which centers around the power of human connection.
