Dr. Todd was born and raised in Vallejo, California in the northern bay area. Coming from a family with a long line of medical and mental health providers, serving and caring for his community has been a “family value” ingrained at an early age. Todd has enjoyed participating in organized, scholastic, and collegiate sports. His high school and college athletics sparked his interest and now passion on understanding how to maintain health and function as well as challenging the body to achieve to levels of performance. As the family values of caring and serving his community converged with his passion for fitness and health it, led him down the path to Chiropractic College.

He was recruited by the University of San Diego for football, where he competed for 4 years with their NCAA Division IAA football team. He was nominated the Team Captain his Jr. and Sr. seasons and held several team powerlifting records.
“As an athlete, I understand the unique challenges and the physical demands on the body. I share the athlete’s “mindset”, the drive to push the limits of your body to achieve optimal performance. I also recognize the value for the body to heal at its maximum potential to maintain and restore function.
“My passion is to help people heal, perform, and achieve their health, fitness and performance goals. I firmly believe we are designed to be healthy and thrive. Wellness and health is our birth rite, and it is my mission to serve as many people as possible to empower their abilities to thrive, as well as educate them on ways to maximize their most valuable asset in life, their health.”
