A former college faculty member at Towson University and Franklin & Marshall College, Todd has assisted over 4,000 families while in private practice.
Todd’s unique approach to college planning integrates cost management, student academic credentials, and family priorities so that parents use their resources wisely and minimize debt funding while not sending their students to colleges they feel they have “settled for.”
