He started by kicking his first soccer ball at age five. Nine years later he was playing for the Alabama Olympic Development team comprised of the state's best players. Aged 18 he signed a soccer scholarship to Wingate University. Todd loved the game but it was clear to him upon graduation that, it was time to hang up the boots and pick up the microphone.
Professionally, Todd wanted to pursue a career in TV, and he soon got his "big break" working in Iowa for one of the smallest news stations in the country doing sports. "It was the bottom of the barrel...but I learned a lot" he says. His next stop was at KOLD in Tucson where he was an award winning sports journalist for four years.
In 2004 when Todd went international and joined World Wrestling Entertainment. There he hosts shows, calls play-by-play and appears weekly on the number one show on cable Monday Night Raw.
However, soccer was always on his mind: He has been to three of the last four World Cups, and regularly attends MLS matches. So he enthusiastically seized the opportunity to host MLS Saturday for Fox Soccer Channel.
Todd is ready. "I can't wait to get started. I've wanted to broadcast soccer games since I was a boy, and with MLS ready to explode in 2007 I feel privileged to be given this opportunity."
