Todd Hodge

After spending a decade working in the film and television industry in Toronto, Todd decided he needed a change, so in January 2005 he headed back to school. Throughout his career he had been responsible for computer systems in production offices and post production facilities and had always enjoyed the challenges the technology brought. It was this experience and his desire to become more knowledgeable that lead him to the Computer Engineering Technology program at Niagara College. While at college he honed his troubleshooting skills, developed networks and learned to program. He also spent 18 months as an intern in the technology department building and networking computer labs and helping faculty and students with their computing problems. Since finishing with the Computer Engineering program Todd spends his time consulting for small businesses, researching new technology and building relations through social networking. He is also quietly working on bringing his filmmaking skills to the web.
