Todd is one of our company co-founders and current President. After a field school at Cahokia and working as a field technician in the Southeast, Midwest, and Great Plains, he realized he preferred the gray winters in his home state of Oregon over humid summers and chiggers.

Todd has conducted cultural resource studies throughout the Pacific Northwest since 2003 for projects related to timber sales, natural-gas pipelines, wind power generation projects, utility and transportation projects, on-call (IDIQ) projects, and public and private development for federal, state, and local compliance.

These projects ranged from literature or records reviews to archaeological survey or inventory to site testing and data recovery. Todd also led efforts to re-analyze museum collections related to salvage archaeology prior to Snake River dam construction that were never properly reported.

During his professional career, Todd has gained additional expertise in the identification and analysis of lithic artifacts. Todd’s research interests include prehistoric technologies (lithic artifacts and bone and antler tools), history and prehistory of the Pacific Northwest, complex hunter-gatherers, prehistoric settlement patterns, and site formation processes.

He is a member of the Register of ProfessionalArchaeologists, Society for American Archaeology, Association of Oregon Archaeologists, Association for Washington Archaeology, and the Oregon Historical Society.
