Todd is the calm in the midst of chaos, the steadying leader that charts the path and creates the environment where teams can thrive.. He is direct, yet inclusive. Firm, yet nurturing. Global, yet focused. J. Todd is a big-picture thinker yet he knows how to deliver on every detail. He craves precision, quality, excellence, action and, yes, fun!

Indeed, J. Todd has gone by many names but his most cherished title is "Pahp". If not working with Parson clients or serving his community, J. Todd is almost certainly engaged in some activity involving his family, creating memories and finding new ways to have fun in every moment. His passions include coaching baseball and softball, woodworking, golf, travel, cooking, tinkering with old cars and fixing stuff around the house.
