Todd is a highly talented, enthusiastic and motivated subject matter expert in the areas of SEO and Social Media marketing. With a wealth of demonstrable knowledge and success he has been a major asset to my team, offering easy-to-follow, actionable advice as we sought to get enhanced SEO & social marketing efforts into place. Todd approaches his work with a fantastic attitude that makes you want to partner with him and learn from him. He is a great asset to the Bankrate Insurance team.
Source: LinkedIn Scott Axcell May 22, 2013Todd has had a heavy influence on the successful branding and marketing of Constantia Private Security.
He is one of the most important connections you can have in Orange County. His group OCEAN (Orange County Executives and Networkers) currently has over 7000 members, and is growning every day. Additionally, he has over 500 connections here on LinkedIn. Combined, these make him a networking powerhouse. Additionally, his posts on twitter and facebook provide best practice tips on social networking.
I have also provided security functions for non profit events that he has hosted. Even when "Murphy's Law" is in effect, he is able to maintain a fluidity that allows him to adapt and overcome any situation that arises.
I highly recommend Todd, on both a professional, and personal level.
Source: LinkedIn Greg Goodall, PPO, TFF May 22, 2013Todd has been somewhat of a mentor to me over the past several years, and we actually got to work together on a project for the first time, in 2011.
As a self funded small business, I truely have to fill all roles in my organization. With a heavy background in safety and security, as well as a long stint in IT as a network and security administrator, I had much of the skillsets I needed to make my business take off. What I lacked was the networking and marketing skills. I was able to learn enough of to start seeing some growth in my business, by watching and learning from the successful folks around me, and Todd was at the top of the list.
As my business grows, much of what I am doing will need to be passed off to other people. It is my expectation that Todd will be a key player in our future success.
Source: LinkedIn Greg Goodall, PPO, TFF May 22, 2013Todd brings a wealth of knowledge, a fascinating personality, and a load of positive energy to the workplace. He's very interesting to work with and knows how to motivate people around him. All in all, a great asset for any company!
Source: LinkedIn Tim Piatenko May 22, 2013Todd was a wonderful co-employee that was always happy to be around and a positive person. He knows a lot about a range of different areas. Todd is the "Go To" guy if you want answers.

Todd's a renaissance man -- his breadth and depth of knowledge of subjects both technical and topical never cease to impress. As Director of SEO for Like.com, he and I have worked together on improving the SEO performance of Like.com's various websites. Collaborating with Todd on those projects has been an excellent experience, as he is a model of positivity and professionalism.

Source: LinkedIn Ashish Toshniwal May 22, 2013I've never met anyone more knowledgeable about Search Engine Optimization than Todd. He's been a great boss, a great mentor, and a great friend. I am honored to have met such a great person as Todd.
Source: LinkedIn Michael Wen May 22, 2013Todd is one of the most animated people I've ever met. I've worked with him as a potential merchant and directly as a colleague. You would never guess behind his extroverted personality he was a numbers driven guy. He knows what he's talking about... I was excited when I heard he'd be joining our company. He's changed a lot resulting in great revenue change already. Always a plus for a new company.
Source: LinkedIn Jillian OrRico May 22, 2013Todd and I worked on a project to migrate our servers from one platform to another. He's very talented and knowledgeable with regards to information systems especially web related technologies. He is especially good at mapping out system and software designs. Todd is easy to get along with and to work with; he worked well with all the other team members. I would highly recommend him.
