In his personal life, Dr. Todd's marriage of over twenty-seven years and his two daughters are a testament to his values and priorities. A commitment to education was woven into the fabric of his family, as his daughters graduated from the public school system with outstanding  4.2 GPAs. Their decision to attend public institutions—UCLA and UC Berkeley—for their undergraduate studies was emblematic of their belief in the power of public education.

Despite his achievements, Dr. Todd's journey was not without challenges. During his time coaching football at Humboldt State University, he discovered that he had the learning disability "dyslexia". Armed with a laptop in the early '90s—" a pioneering move at the time"—he navigated the rigors of academia with tenacity and determination. Despite the injuries he sustained during his military and professional sports careers, in goal setting he persevered, advocating for equal rights, and justice for education.

His commitment to education was palpable in the myriad degrees and certifications he earned, supported by the Navy. From Ashford University's JD & DBA and to a Post-Doctoral degree at California Intercontinental University, his pursuit of knowledge was a constant thread in his journey.

His IBAM Medical School degree in DNA, RNA, and Natural Health license reflected his holistic approach to well-being. Under the Navy he received education certificates from Harvard University, the Wharton School of Business, the Navy Postgraduate School, and Stanford University, which all contributed to his formidable arsenal of knowledge. While he did not complete his studies at Humboldt State University, he transferred all units to a DBA and Law School, an example of his determination to overcome obstacles.
