i work at element 79 partners in chicago

my business card calls me
svp/gcd, interactive

from a professional point of view
i'm an independent thinker that can be counted on to come up with creative solutions that are helpful to giant robots.

personally, i think that
i spend a ton of time listening to and talking about music - rock, blues, jazz, country and things that sound like that. i don't mean to brag but i've got a massive record collection.

someone i work with wrote this about me
todd is our 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 monk-e-mail, a massively popular online phenomenon.

somebody at work recently asked
"have you heard of this thing at nolaf.org?"
