Born in Oamaru but having spent most of his life growing up in Alexandra Todd started off driving stock trucks as a teenager for many years till he became a stock despatcher for the past four years.

Todd has been in the livestock industry for 14 years where he has always had an interest in becoming a stock agent. He found out that Johnny Girvan's job was coming available, so thought he would show his interest in the job. Although relatively new to Rural Livestock he services the Maniototo to Middlemarch region and enjoys the challenge, people, and lifestyle.

Todd has a wife and four young children that keep him busy where any spare time is spent playing squash. A favourite pastime for Todd and the family is taking the boat out to the lake or river and participating in water sports.
