About

From ToddBlog.net as I'm too lazy to write yet another "About Me"

Todd is a well-mannered, generally cheerful, idealistic, naïve young man, residing in the heart of the country. His days are spent working away at The Strategy Group, a full service, strategic marketing and advertising firm. He focuses his energy primarily on churches and non-profits, working with The Creel Institute, a teaching and training division of The Strategy Group.

Todd is passionate about people. He loves building relationships and he thrives when able to be with people.

Hayley HulaOne of his favorite people is his wife, Hayley (pictured in hula garb with his terrified-looking nephew). Hayley has helped Todd become the man he is today - for the better, mind you. His compassion and wardrobe have both become more refined thanks to his relationship with Hayley - he often remarks that he shudders when he thinks about how he looked before meeting Hayley, and how he never really understood empathy before she came along.

This lack of empathy is likely due to the fact that Todd is an only child. While he believes that he is fairly well adjusted and healthy, his only-childness still rears its ugly mug in the form of selfishness every once in a while.

In addition to his people-passion, he is passionate about the Church. He believes that the church has failed in some pretty significant ways lately, and he wants to work to remedy that. If you were to ask him to name some specific failures, he would mention the fortress mentality, the antagonistic view many churched people have of the "unchurched" and the church's adoration for sameness - both from its practices and its parishioners.

Todd fully recognizes his failures and limitations, but he doesn't dwell on them - it would take far too much of his time! Instead, he does the best he can and looks to other like-minded strivers to help him up when he trips. This experience has placed a desire in him to help others when they find themselves flat on their faces.

Finally, Todd enjoys writing in both the third person and utilizing stream of consciousness techniques when crafting his biography. He hopes that you enjoy your stay here and eagerly awaits your contributions to the discussion.

yes, me too. I have been slaving over this CSS junk to figure out how to do it. definitely a good use of time. it is almost as noble as feeding a country, i think.

toddy...right now i'm doing full-time graphic design at a four-color press, biding my time until my next journey. i just got back from rwanda a few months ago and i'm planning (hopefully) on another trip that will begin in september and take me to around 10-12 countries, using photography to inform the public about social injustices. i traveled once and now i can't stop myself :) also thinking about grad school (to get a masters in international human rights).

basically...just trying to live my dreams. what are you dreaming about?
