Todd is a serial entrepreneur with a background in the technology, aviation, and automotive industries. He is passionate about the momentous technological changes occurring in transportation in cities, and advocates for open source technologies that both empowers cities and creates opportunities for the private sector. He identifies potential solutions to administering and managing public spaces including streets, sidewalks, and curbs, and challenges with operating drones and air-taxis within urban airspace. As a current public sector consultant, leader of a technology company, helicopter pilot, and a manufacturer of aviation components, Todd is able to view the world through the lens of public and private entities, providing direction on transportation technology solutions that are equitable, open, pragmatic, and comprehensive.
Todd, as a consultant to the Los Angeles Department of Transportation, was tasked to help write the OMF by-laws and help construct how the OMF balance the voices of cities as board members with the need for the technical voices to weigh in on how technical problems would be addressed through and between the working groups. As a member of the Technical Council, Todd will call upon his experience in both cities and the private sector to help the OMF solve the incredibly important problems.
