Back

Raised in a family deeply rooted in the building trade, Todd's formative years were spent amidst the hustle and bustle of job sites. From a young age, he was immersed in the world of construction, gaining hands-on experience in heavy construction during school breaks. This early exposure fostered a robust work ethic and a profound understanding of the industry.

Breaking new ground in his family, Todd became the first male to earn a college degree. He proudly graduated from Southern Illinois University Carbondale, where he embraced the spirit of a Saluki.

In the summer of 1997, Todd began his professional journey at BLDD Architects. Since then, he has dedicated his career to the meticulous planning and innovative design of educational facilities. His portfolio spans public school districts, community colleges, and private colleges, each project reflecting his unwavering commitment to creating inspiring learning environments.

Todd's passion lies in designing spaces that enhance teaching and learning experiences. He is particularly interested in how thoughtful, efficient, and compact designs can improve educational outcomes. His work is driven by a vision to craft environments that not only meet the functional needs of educational institutions but also inspire and motivate students and educators alike.
