Autorenporträt
Born in Toronto and leaving school at the tender age of 15, Todd worked in mostly factory settings throughout his teen years and into his 20s. He eventually remedied that situation earning a three year computer science diploma from Seneca College. He then worked as a programmer and analyst for 30 years before becoming a writer. When he's not writing, Todd plays his guitar, and works on his classic Jeep, "There's always nuts and bolts left over for some reason." Todd lives and writes in Swansea, Toronto.
