Todd has been shooting and hunting since he was age 10. He was part of his ship’s security team when he was in the Navy, and spent two weeks training at Miramar Naval Air Station training along with Seal Team members, learning to shoot under pressure and movement onboard ships. Todd practiced with his dad who shot IDPA in western Colorado. Found Able Shepherd through mutual friends at his church, joined the program in Feb of 2019, earned his Tan patch in November of 2019, and started working on instruction protocols in March of 2019. He began role playing for the program in Oct. of 2019 and started teaching live fire drills in March of 2021. Todd had a short stint at Centennial Gun Club as the training director from June 2020-Oct 2020 and loves to help people on this journey. Outside of AS he loves spending time with his wife of 28 years and his two boys. Todd loves being outdoors, golfing, and riding bicycles and spent 15 racing both road and mountain bikes and is always striving to become the man God has called him to be. 

When I attended the opening of the Active Shooter Response Training Center (ASRTC), I was instantly hooked; both to it and Jimmy Graham.  I achieved the Able Shepherd rating 14 months later.  I’m amazed that I was able to accomplish this, and I still hold the record for being the oldest to do it.  While I have always felt a great need to provide for and protect my loved ones, I never knew I could attain such skills to assist me in this endeavor.  After finishing a 38-year career as an executive in construction, it is my honor to be the COO of this program.
