Todd Richard's Summary

I design, craft, produce and market art, entertainment, and events. I use hardware, software, and Fiestaware to achieve these ends.

I scale mountains, sweat blood, and traverse barren deserts to find the resources required to effectively and efficiently complete projects before dinner is on the table.

I did not find my career, it found me. Frankly, I had no idea any of this was possible. I live in awe of every day. However, I don't spend too much time pontificating on this, as my Things® to do list is not getting any smaller.

Having built a career in marketing seemingly out of very little, I am resourceful and economical to a fault. I simply never learned another way to do it.

I frequently speed towards yellow lights, but never run a red.

I strive to marry my skills with intriguing and challenging projects, knowing that the result will be a finished product that I am not only pleased with, but that will speak for itself to a wider audience.
