Upon completion of undergraduate studies, he voraciously pursued a graduate degree with Honors from The University of Tennessee's Haslam College of Business MBA program. Todd, was a valued business strategist and partner of various entrepreneurial entities, including, most recently, Stephen's Enterprises Inc. His undeniable passions included preparing culinary creations for those whom he cherished, doting over countless four-legged creatures as an animal lover, picking a guitar, and singing, with an unmatched and reckless abandon to any tune by Dwight Yoakam. Todd's infectious love for family and friends established connections that were of deep meaning in defining his earthly existence; however, the ultimate connection he sought was with his heavenly father, lord, and savior, Jesus Christ. Now, residing safely in the arms of his glorious redeemer, Todd rests eternally with immeasurable contentment.
