About

Todd is a well-mannered, generally cheerful, idealistic, naïve young man, residing in the heart of the country. His days are spent working at The Greteman Group, a branding agency in Wichita, Kan. These days are spent largely focusing on digital and interactive (the two are interchangeable words, but Todd says digital is the channel, interactive is the goal. Clever, no?) strategies for the agency’s clients. Depending upon the client and objective, some of the tactics he might suggest include fascinating tools such as blogs, online social networks and highly targeted microsites.

Todd is passionate about people. He loves building relationships and thrives when able to be with people. This passion actually fueled his career direction; he didn’t really know what public relations was all about when he declared it as a major, he just thought it sounded people-centric. Fortunately, he now has a better grasp on the reality of public relations.

One of his favorite people is his wife, Hayley. His compassion and wardrobe have both become more refined thanks to his relationship with Hayley – he often remarks that he never really understood empathy before she came along.

This lack of empathy is likely due to the fact that Todd is an only child. While he believes that he is fairly well adjusted and healthy, his only-childness still rears its ugly mug in the form of selfishness every once in a while.

In addition to his people-passion, he is passionate about the Church. While he’s still unclear of what he’s looking for in an organized congregation or group, he tries to be laser-focused on his pursuit of being like Jesus. And, oh, how frequently he fails at that.

Todd fully recognizes these failures and limitations, but he doesn’t dwell on them – it would take far too much of his time. Instead, he does the best he can and looks to other like-minded strivers to help him up when he trips. This experience has placed a desire in him to help others when they find themselves flat on their faces.

Finally, Todd enjoys writing in both the third person and utilizing stream of consciousness techniques when crafting his biography. He hopes that you enjoy your stay here and eagerly awaits your contributions to the discussion.
