Todd graduated from Fredericksburg High School in 1981 and graduated Cum Laude from Texas A&M University with a degree in Agriculture Economics in May 1985. He went on to receive a master's degree in Land Economics and Real Estate from Texas A&M University in December 1986. While there, he was a member of the Phi Kappa Phi and Phi Eta Sigma Honor Societies. He participated in several professional organizations, the Saddle and Sirloin Club, and five intramural sports teams.

Todd held various summer jobs, including working at the peach sheds, for his uncle at Hill Country Refrigeration, and for Walter Building and Supply in construction. The best stories were of the long, hot days of custom hay hauling with his friends where they gathered and stored more than 80,000 bales.

After college, he began his career in real estate by working for 7 years as a Commercial Staff Appraiser with Mazuk Valuation and Consulting where he earned his MAI Designation from the Appraisal Institute. In 1993, he moved his family to Boerne, Texas and joined Frost Bank in the FMG Real Estate Division of the Trust Department as an Asst. Vice President and Trust Officer. He remained there until 2007 after attaining the role of Vice President in that department.

In 2007, Todd moved his family to Fredericksburg so that he could work with his parents in their real estate business. He worked as an Associate Broker for CC Herber Co., Real Estate until the time of his death. He found his calling in this field and especially loved helping clients buy and sell ranches. He received the Realtor of the Year award in 2017 from the Central Hill Country Board of Realtors.

Todd was currently a member of Holy Ghost Lutheran Church where he served as usher and on several committees. He was a member of St. John Lutheran in Boerne where he served as usher, confirmation leader, council member and on several committees. Other memberships included: Life Member of the San Antonio Livestock Exposition, SALE Committeeman where he served on the Horse Show Committee, Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce where he served as Ambassador, Central Hill Country Board of Realtors where he served as Treasurer, the Society of Texas A&M Real Estate Professionals, the Texas Society of Professional Land Managers and Appraisers, the Texas A&M Association of Former Students, and the Billie Boosters.

Todd enjoyed coaching his children in their various sports, hunting, watching the Battlin' Billies, ranch work with his brothers, church, visiting with friends, vacationing with his family and being outside whenever possible. He was an Aggie to his core and loved following A&M sports, especially Aggie football. His laugh was contagious and his spirit kind. If he knew you, you were his friend. He will be missed more than words can express.
