Todd was born in Willmar, Minnesota and graduated from Willmar Senior High School.  He then went on to Minnesota State University (Mankato) graduating with a B.S. degree in Marketing and Computer Science.

After college, Todd started ThunderMark Art and Graphics which specializes in framing and publishing photography and fine works of art.  Along with his brother Tim, they operate a facility located in Little Falls, Minnesota.

His interests include aviation, SCUBA diving, traveling, golfing, kayaking, computers and, of course, photography.

Todd believes that you don't have to go too far to find beautiful and interesing things.

"My goal is to spotlight the beauty around us that many people take for granted.  If you take the time to stop and look, you will always find something interesting to take a picture of.

I like taking pictures because it documents our history since no two photographs will ever be exactly the same.  Photography has allowed me to appreciate every aspect of our natural world.  It also gives me a great excuse to visit places that I normally would not go to."

In the past years, Todd has worked with many top selling artists, such as Kim Norlien, Jim Hansel, Charles Freitag and Kevin Daniel.  "I enjoy all types of art and artists.  We all have something we can contribute to the world and that should be celebrated!"

Currently, Todd resides in Spicer, located in West Central Minnesota.
