Todd is a well-mannered, generally cheerful, idealistic, naïve young man, residing in the heart of the country. His days are spent working away 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. These strategies include blogging, social media and viral-ready campaigns.
Todd is passionate about people. He loves building relationships and he 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. 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 shudders when he thinks about how he looked before meeting Hayley, and how 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. He believes that the church has failed in some pretty significant ways lately, and he wants to work to remedy that. If you were to ask him to name some specific failures, he would mention the fortress mentality, the antagonistic view many churched people have of the “unchurched” and the church’s adoration for sameness - both from its practices and its parishioners.
Todd fully recognizes his 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.
