My work: Wellbuilt Company
Lives in Boston, Massachusetts
Hi I’m Todd! Builder, Actor, Musician, and Dad. I’m an Emerson College graduate in Television Journalism. After my college years I headed to New York City and pursued acting, and Ianded a contract role on the soap opera As the World Turns. I also played roles in several independent films one of which premiered at Sundance film festival alongside James Franco. I had the pleasure of working alongside Massachusetts native Alicia Witt and Scottie David Morse. I love to sing and perform and have toured the country playing music. I’ve lived in California, New York, Martha’s Vineyard, and St. Louis but found my way back to Boston. My greatest joy is by far spending time with my 8 year old son George. We love going on adventures to our remote island property off the coast of Maine. Some of our favorite things to do are boating, hiking, logging, and cooking s’mores on the outdoor fire pit. I am a third generation builder. I grew up in Winchester, Massachusetts swinging a hammer, digging trenches, and operating heavy equipment machinery. My deep passion for construction has led me to owning a High End Residential Real Estate company. I love hosting and meeting new people. My son George and I look forward to sharing our home and some of our favorite Boston places with you!
