Todd comes to us from the Ottawa Valley...

He graduated from Loyalist College in Belleville in 1985. Later that year he was hired as a morning sportscaster at CHRO Radio in his hometown of Pembroke. Todd also did a stint as colour commentator on the Junior "A" Pembroke Lumber Kings radio broadcasts, and in 1987 travelled to Humboldt, Saskatchewan to cover the Centennial Cup Canadian Junior "A" hockey championships.

In 1988, Todd moved on to CHOW Radio in Welland to work as a morning sportscaster. He covered the OHL's Niagara Thunder, and was also the first-ever P.A. announcer for the Welland Pirates class "A" baseball team.

Todd joined the CHEX Television/Radio family in September of 1990, and was hired on full-time in March of 1992. Over the years he has worked as a news and sports anchor/reporter in both radio and television. For four years he followed the Peterborough Petes. Since 2000, he has covered Northumberland County as a videographer, and continues to fill in as a sports anchor.

Among his interests are sports, playing cards and other games, history, places and travelling. Todd has travelled to Mexico several times with members of his church to work at an orphanage and outreach centre on the Baja Peninsula.
