i work at element 79 partners in chicago

my business card calls me
svp / group creative director, interactive

from a professional point of view
i'm an idea guy with an unusual energy level.

from a personal point of view
it's been said that i am 100,000 volts of heavy action. that said, i'll put all that power into an important rock 'n' roll compilation for you.

someone i work with wrote this about me last year and it's still mostly true
todd is a champion of middle-class suburban culture. he particularly enjoys pulling urban snobs out of their element and into the world of domestic beer and fatty sandwiches. somewhere in there, he speaks the language of digital innovation. as for his career, he's spent most of it as a web guy, and will forever be remembered as one of the masterminds behind nolaf.org and monk-e-mail, massively popular online phenomena.

someone i worked with introduced me to her friend in this way
