A lifelong resident of West Virginia, Todd picked up his guitar habit at the age of 8 and has been hooked for nearly 40 years.  He has played in such bands as The Strangers, Zig Zag, and of course Souvenir.  Major influences on Todd's musical taste include James Taylor, Chet Atkins, Crosby Stills and Nash, Steely Dan, Jim Croce and Ray Singleton to name a few.  His instrument of choice is a Taylor T-5 Koa, but he may be found playing a Taylor 914ce, a 30th anniversary Ovation Elite, or just for kicks a Yamaha SLG100S.
