He got his paralegal degree, and in 2000, moved to Tampa, Florida where he currently resides. He works full time as a paralegal and goes to school at night to work towards his law degree. Todd has been a fan of Nancy Drew ever since he was old enough to read, and in recent years has begun to get into the "collecting" of Nancy Drew. His favorites are the Wanderer paperbacks with the half-moon covers (57 - 75), and he is working feverously on his foreign edition collection (so far, he has French, Danish, Australian, British, and Swedish). He is currently single and hopes that his future mate will be as accepting of his love for Nancy Drew as his fellow sleuths are!
