Meet Todd, a small-town guy from the western edge of the Nebraska Sandhills, who found his way to the heart of Nebraska, making Lincoln his home after college. With an extensive background in accounting and finance, Todd's professional journey has taken him through a mix of industries—insurance, real estate, manufacturing, and medical.
 
For over 30 years, he was out on the football field or basketball court, officiating high school and small college games. His love for high school sports remains undiminished, as he continues to play a key role in training and evaluating officials in Nebraska.
 
But Todd's world revolves around more than just scoreboards and spreadsheets. He and his wife, Judi, have two sons. From sports events to various activities, Todd and Judi have been their biggest cheerleaders. It's this deep connection to family that led Todd to TenDot in November of 2023, where he found a workplace that values what matters most to him—family, passion, and a friendly team spirit.
