Through it all he has been a positive role model, leader, and ambassador for the sport.

Since beginning his coaching duties in Halifax in 2012 Todd has instilled a sense of confidence in Nova Scotia's skaters and coaches and proven that they can be competitive at the national level.  Todd is excited about the opportunity to work with the Dartmouth Crossing Speed Skating Club to be able to continue to contribute his leadership in the sport he has a passion for.
