With more than 36 years in the livestock industry, Todd has built his career on adaptability, relationships, and a genuine passion for helping others succeed. Growing up on his family’s grain and livestock farm, he learned early that hard work and steady leadership are what keep agriculture moving forward.

Professionally, Todd’s path has included roles as a Livestock Production Specialist, Feed Specialist, Feed Department Manager, and Swine Specialist — all leading to his current role as The Pig Sourcing Group Manager. Each day brings something different, but his focus remains on growth — for both the team and the producers they serve. He manages contracts, provides oversight, develops new business, and strategizes how to strengthen and expand The Pig Sourcing Group’s partnerships.

Known for his calm, practical approach and well-timed humor, Todd balances clear direction with the kind of perspective that keeps barns — and people — moving forward. For him, the most rewarding part of this work is hearing about producers doing well. Knowing the pigs and programs he helped coordinate are performing successfully gives him deep satisfaction.

His guiding principle — “Sometimes not taking the risk is the risk” — keeps him open to new ideas, willing to adapt, and unafraid to explore new ways of doing business. Todd reminds his team often that when producers succeed, the entire group succeeds — a belief that has guided him throughout his career.

When he’s not working, Todd enjoys farm chores, hunting, spending time outdoors, and raising a little livestock of his own. He’s happiest on the farm or soaking in the quiet moments that remind him why he loves this industry. People might be surprised to learn he once thought he wanted to be an air traffic controller — but fate led him to becoming a “pig traffic controller” instead. In his free time, you may find him catching up on episodes of The Voice.
