Todd was born in Pampa, Texas on October 12, 1937. He graduated from Texas Christian University and Southern Methodist University School of Law. He married Jo Ann McMillan from Austin, Texas, and they moved to Phoenix, Arizona where he worked as a briefing attorney for the Attorney General of Arizona. After practicing law for six years, they moved to Tucson for Todd to attend the University of Arizona School of Medicine. After completing residency in 1974, he moved his family to Amarillo, Texas where he practiced Obstetrics and Gynecology until he left private practice to teach medicine at Texas Tech University Medical School from 1998-2004. He and Jo then enjoyed several years of retirement in Santa Fe, New Mexico and moved to Evergreen, Colorado in 2010, where he joined the Volunteer Jefferson County Mounted Search and Rescue Team. Todd was strong in his Christian faith and a devoted family man. His greatest joys in life were his family, spending time outdoors on his ranch and riding his horses.
