After graduating from Davenport public schools, Todd attended the University of Iowa. In addition to studying political science and history, Todd enlisted in the Army Reserve and participated in the Army ROTC program to help pay for college and fulfill a desire to serve his country.
After graduating as the Distinguished Military graduate, Todd commissioned into the Regular Army as an Infantry Lieutenant. After officer training, Todd deployed with the First Cavalry Division as a rifle platoon leader to Kuwait as part of Operation Desert Spring.
After returning to Iowa, Todd joined the 1/133 Infantry Battalion of the Iowa Army National Guard in Dubuque and started law school at the University of Iowa. Todd met and married Ann Stecher, a teacher in Van Meter. Todd was once again called to deploy with his National Guard unit to Egypt for six months as part of an international peacekeeping force.
After his deployment, Todd returned home and graduated from law school. After graduation, Todd and Ann moved to Charles City, where he started working as an attorney. A year later, Todd deployed again with the 1/133 Infantry Battalion to Iraq, serving as the Company Commander.

He also served as the Assistant Floyd County Attorney, where he prosecuted drug and violent crime, including domestic abuse cases. Todd continues to serve in the Army Reserve at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, and now serves as a Lieutenant Colonel in charge of distribution management for the 103rd Sustainment Command.
