A man of few words, Todd has an impeccable work ethic that allows him to stay on top of the growing production demands of NLU. He learned this work ethic from his many years as a self-employed small businessman. Probably one of his favorite phrases is “Git ‘er done!” He is a doer who can read schematics like other people read words, and who loves all things mechanical or technological. He graduated from Utah Technical College, now UVSC, in Orem, Utah.

When he’s not working, Todd loves more than anything to be with his family. He is an avid outdoorsman but is also an incredible cook – for which his wife and two children are extremely grateful. What a guy! – he can tie a fly or cook up a batch of the most incredible chocolate chip cookies you’ve ever eaten.
