Todd is a native of Kenner, Louisiana but has resided in Waggaman for the past 10 years with his devoted wife and his loving pets. He was a member of the Our Lady of the Angels Catholic Church, the Knights of Columbus 13349, a volunteer with the Live Oak Manor Fire Department and was named a 2023 Hero with N.O.F.A. NOLA - No One Fights Alone. Todd was a deputy with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office in the 80's before spending more than 20 years in the oil and gas industry running marine operations.
Todd shared a love of hunting, fishing, and shooting firearms with his son Logan. He was a devoted Louisiana sports fan with his favorites including UL, Tulane, and of course his beloved LSU Tigers and New Orleans Saints. Above all, Todd’s favorite pastime was bowling. Being introduced to the sport by his mother and brother Lee at the age of 4, it quickly became a passion that lasted well over 50 years. He earned a multitude of awards and accolades over the years including several 800 series and perfect 300 games. It was this love of bowling that led him to meet his wife Sherry, an avid bowler herself. Some of their fondest memories include competing in tournaments together with their closest friends across the country as well as participating in multiple leagues at his favorite bowling center, Colonial Lanes in Harahan, LA.
