Todd joined USD as the executive director in 1981, making him the most veteran executive director at any national governing body in the U.S. today. Prior to leading the national office team, Todd coached at the Mission Viejo Nadadores from 1977-1978 and the University of Tennessee from 1978-1980.

Instrumental in much of USD's growth, Todd developed a balanced budget over seven times its original size and initiated the U.S. Diving Foundation and USD's tax-exempt status. He also solicited and negotiated sponsor relationships with Speedo America, United Airlines, General Motors, Texaco, Colorado Time Systems, Phillips Petroleum, McDonalds, Olin Corporation, Alamo Rent A Car and Pan Am Airlines.

Todd and his wife are the parents of two sons.

Todd enjoys watching hockey games and cheering on his sons at athletic events.
