Todd got his start in life on December 18, 1970, and was raised in Baltimore, Maryland, with one sister and wonderful parents.

After spending some time working on charter fishing boats and running from God, he surrendered his life and went to Lancaster Bible College to get a Bachelors degree in Bible. He has never looked back.

Todd and his wife, Shea, have three great kids: Madison (Madi), Lily, and Parker – all born between March 2000 and March 2004. We think they finally figured out what was causing that.

His list of favorites includes: food – pizza (don't put anything green in front of him), movie – Lord of the Rings, book – Fresh Wind Fresh Fire, Bible character – David, and Bible verse – Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

He also loves to build things (you should see the playhouse he built for his kids), loves to see people grow spiritually, and would really love to meet Tommy Walker.

People really enjoy hearing Todd use his God-given talent as a vocalist, but most would be surprised to know that he doesn't read music. Another talent Todd has that we don't see as often is that he can speed-walk like the Olympians. And, if you want to see his face turn red, ask him about the time his shorts fell off when he launched off the diving board.

Todd says his greatest strength is that he's passionate, and his greatest weakness is that he's passionate. However you look at it, he uses his passion very effectively as Worship Leader at Blue Ridge, as well as his spiritual gifts of shepherding, leadership and encouragement.
