Originally, from Upstate NY, he has lived and worked in Boston, MA, Mt. Hood, Or, Denver, CO, and Buffalo, NY. Todd currently resides in Loudonville, NY.

Todd's rare leadership abilities landed him the honor of participating in the 2005 and 2007 Jr. League Show House in Buffalo, NY. The 2005 Show House involved a Kitchen and Butler's Pantry where he took a unique approach using cabinets crafted from lyptus wood complemented with furniture style cabinets with a rubbed-through painted gray finish.  The final product was Amazing!  In the 2007 Show House, Todd created an “Urban Loft” design. Being a member of the National Kitchen and Bath Association, he submitted the design to a regional NKBA competition where it won the prestigious “People's Choice Award” and was featured on the cover of Builder / Architect Magazine January 2008 edition. Also in the magazine was an “Arts and Crafts” style kitchen that won the “2nd Place Award”.

Todd enjoys the challenge and is stimulated in every design he creates. In Todd's own words, “As a designer, I strive to provide my clients with an enjoyable professional experience from concept to completion. My goal is to listen to my clients ideas, needs, and budget, and deliver them a final product that meets or exceeds their expectations. I also have a passion and commitment to learning about the “green” aspect of design when creating living spaces. Every part of the process, including the product selections and the overall design, can play a role in the conservation of resources thus, living in harmony with our planet.”
