Todd was passionate about music, dancing, and sports. He studied at Southgate School, Whipple-Dale Center, and Higgins Workshop. He was a member of the Sounds of Silence Choir, which gave a command performance for the President of the United States in the Oval Office January 1993.

He moved to Albuquerque in 2006, eventually found and joined the Buen Viaje Dance Troupe. He studied and performed with the company until it dissolved in 2020. Like most New Mexicans, he was a big fan of Lobo basketball and Isotopes baseball.
