Todd spent almost three decades as a standup comedian making people laugh, lighting up comedy clubs, theaters, and events across the United States.

He was a constant source of positivity and laughter in the lives of countless people, building lasting friendships with fellow comedians, fans, and anyone lucky enough to be in his circle. Whether it was helping a struggling comic with advice or simply sharing a laugh after a tough day, Todd was always there. Many who met Todd speak of his warmth, humility, and ability to make others feel like the most important person in the room. Todd leaves behind a legacy of laughter, kindness, and unforgettable moments that will continue to bring joy to those who had the privilege of knowing him.

But most of all, Todd was a devoted and adoring Uncle. He cherished his nieces and nephews, whom he loved with all his heart. They were his greatest joy, and he spoke with them and of them constantly, proud of who they are and thrilled to be a part of their lives. Todd's family was everything to him and he will be deeply missed by his family, friends, fellow comedians, and fans across the country who all felt like they had a special connection with Todd.
