Todd has been active in F3 Katy for 6+ years and has led, served, and grown deeply with his fellow PAX. An avid adventure motorcyclist who loves navigating challenging trails and translating the hard-earned lessons of the trail into his everyday journey in pursuit of God, freedom, courage, and authenticity.
