Todd said.
Although he was a fan of the game, he never expected to be doing what he does today. He knew he wanted to work in radio when he graduated, but initially took a job at Compucard as a phone salesman.
I needed to put food on the table
he said. Working at Compucard really helped me when it came to people relations.
He also worked at several central Ohio radio stations before a good friend of his made him aware of an intriguing job posting.
The Blue Jackets needed an in-game personality, and his friend suggested he try out.
Todd then called Murray and asked him what he thought.
He told me I better be prepared to get the job
Todd said.
I didn't recommend him to anyone
but I knew he would get it
Murray said.
Todd got the job and now is one of the more recognizable personalities at Blue Jackets games. During the game, Todd is in charge of the games and contests and is often found hanging around with the Pepsi Power Patrol or Cannon Crew, the Blue Jackets' promotional teams.
Todd also does a lot of charity work with The Blue Jackets Foundation, including a golf outing, the Black Tie
Blue Jackets fashion show and Hockey Fest.
The work we do with the Blue Jackets Foundation is very rewarding
