Digital Film

Video marketing is no longer optional for growing businesses. I enjoy working through the various facets of filmmaking, including storyboarding, directing, filming, audio engineering, and editing.

Design

I love the challenge of how to communicate a message in an artistic way. I’m a firm believer that great user experiences are beautiful, but extremely functional.

Web development

Clean, responsive websites are a must to represent your brand to your potential customers. I’ve chosen to specialize on WordPress, which powers over 25% of the Web.

Events

I led a team that organized 12 profitable, multi-day events for groups of over 850 people. Check out some of the photos from these events.

Analytics

It’s not enough just to tell beautiful stories—they need to achieve your goals. This means being able to track results to create actionable insights. I’m Google Analytics IQ certified.

Writing

Whether it’s persuasive copy, a humorous tweet, or an academic white paper, writing is still one of the best tools. I’ve learned to write engaging messages while maintaining an authentic voice.

  • Todd is perhaps one of the most creative, smart & capable people I know. Whatever he puts his mind & heart to succeeds. He really does have that 'Midas touch.'

    Wayne Hedlund

  • 'Visionary' is the word that comes to mind when I think about Todd. I've had the pleasure of knowing Todd for 3 years, and I couldn't have asked for a better boss.

  • All too often I observe individuals who are more concerned about what they can get than what they can contribute. Todd is a contributor, someone who seeks to add value to others and the world around him.
