TODD’S STORY

CURIOSITY
BECAME A
CAREER.

Todd did not set out with a polished roadmap or a single industry in mind. He started by paying attention—to what frustrated customers, what slowed a team down, and what everyone else had quietly accepted as normal.

While operating bars in Nashville, he experimented with digital displays to make the room work better. A dealership customer noticed and asked whether the same idea could work inside a dealership. Todd said yes before every detail was figured out, then built the first computers himself with televisions lined up in a spare bedroom.

That one practical question grew into Digital Dealership System, now serving more than 1,000 dealerships nationwide. It also established the pattern behind everything that followed: get close to the problem, learn from the people living with it, build the useful version, and keep improving it.

“The industries change. The instinct does not: find the friction, make it visible, and build the better answer.”
