"Though I had half-heartedly sent job applications for over two years, my job search didn't truly start until I met Todd. I was stuck somewhere between "what I've got is okay and kind of working" and "I'll just send some directionless applications to other jobs to see if anything bites." I was doing a lot of work for no return. I had many people's eyes on my resume and cover letter, and it felt like I had worked on it too much (if there is such a thing). Continuing to look at my resume was like looking at a mirror of myself for so long and not being able to tell if my face or the mirror was dirty. I needed new eyes; I needed someone to tell me if it was my face or the mirror that was dirty and offer me the right tools to succeed. Four weeks after starting to work with Todd, I got a job. With Todd's advice, experience, and tools, I increased my salary by 300%—something I never would've known how to navigate in the past. I can't recommend Todd enough. He believed in me when I didn't. He kept my eye on the end goal and kept me from getting caught up in the ups and downs of the day-to-day. I wish I could keep working with Todd, but we technically achieved my goal. And we did it quickly."

"When I decided to make the jump from work in the field to the office, I knew I needed a complete resume overhaul. Luck was on my side when I found Todd. I came from an obscure industry that Todd had no experience with, but that didn’t stop him from showing me the way up. He dug in, and after several email exchanges and a phone call, Todd had me prepared to hit the ground running. His process is highly collaborative, and he guided me in converting a full career CV into a professional resume that showcased my experience in a way that highlighted the direction I was moving. Todd gave me the tools to create a resume I was proud of and confident to distribute, and I recently accepted a position a level up from what I’d been applying for. He is encouraging and realistic in his approach. If you’re willing to put in the work, Todd is the secret weapon in your hunt for better. Thank you, Todd!"

"Todd is a cross between my guardian angel and my secret weapon in all things work-related. I was out of work for over five months, and when Todd came in, I got the exact job that I wanted in 3 weeks! From rehabbing my résumé and cover letter to prepping me for interviews and salary negotiations, he has done more for my professional life than anyone else I’ve met. Add to that his humor and amazingly supportive attitude, and I would recommend him to anyone needing wisdom and guidance with work!"

"Todd is incredibly talented career coach! Insanely responsive and great at communicating when it comes to his schedule and everything else. He is incredibly supportive and always has his best interest in his clients. My experience working with Todd was great and I never felt like I was alone during my time working with him. He helped me craft one of the greatest resumes I’ve ever seen and taught me so many strategies to approaching the job market. I am very thankful I had the opportunity to work with Todd and would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a career coach."

"I love my new job! I lost my job of 15 years at the start of the Pandemic. 15 years meant that it had been a very long time since I had been in the job market. I had no idea what the best practices were when it came to finding a job in the 2020's. I felt lost and ineffective. Reaching out to Todd solved all of that. Todd gave me the insight and guidance that I needed to go forward with my job search in an impactful way. His sage advice had me going into interviews with confidence. Even though my resume was filled with what some would consider entry-level positions, he always treated me with respect, good humor, and as a peer. Todd skillfully guided me through every step of a process that I was fully unfamiliar with. I felt like a job searching pro and I got the exact job that I wanted. I could not be happier and I have Todd to thank for that. Thank you, Todd!"

"I was transitioning from running my own business for 11 years to joining a company. Todd was instrumental in helping me achieve my goal in about 3 weeks. He helped me develop a plan to keep me on task and not get overwhelmed by the job searching experience and the self-doubt in my head.


Todd’s vast knowledge helped me redesign my resume. He taught me how to tailor my cover letter and resume for each position. He gave me guidance on networking, prepped me for interviews, and was always there cheering me on during the ups and downs of the process. Because he limits the number of people he works with at a time he is very responsive and communicates very clearly. He is supportive and detail-oriented, enabling him to succeed at his work. If you’re feeling burned out or lost in your job search, Todd will help get you on track with a plan that will lead you to your goal. I highly recommend him and his services."

"Todd took me and my resume to boot camp, and challenged me to think about my previous jobs in a way that I never really had to. For some context: my resume was 5 pages long, and I thought it was a good thing to detail my many years in the cannabis industry. Right off the bat, he told me that my resume wasn't that great. I needed to hear it, and it helped me adopt a new mindset. He showed me how to fix it (all killer, no filler!) and even did some slimming/formatting himself. My resume is ten-fold better than when we started, and now only 3 pages long! I can't believe my previous employers hired me. More specifically, we focused on what I brought to the table with each position in the cannabis industry as well as my summary section. I realized I was spending a lot of space on my resume bulleting things that could easily be assumed by my job title, and not all of the awesome changes to procedures, spreadsheets, SOP's that I had contributed over the years. After we tackled that, he handed me Willy Wonka's Golden Ticket of a cover letter template and I will forever use this thing!! He was there every step of the way to elaborate on what he was sending over, things that worked and examples. He also had great suggestions on things like doing some research on the company and writing down highlights about myself and questions to ask. Needless to say, I SLAYED the job interview and you're looking at Colorado's next Microbiologist testing all of your medical and recreational cannabis! Top to bottom and all the way through, as a friend, thank you Todd!"

"Todd has been invaluable to me as a career coach. He provided clear and specific advice on how to craft my resume and LinkedIn profile into a better showcase of my accomplishments and talents, and he helped me navigate a very challenging job market for technology executive talent. With his mentorship I was able to identify the best opportunities for career growth and to take my career to another level."

"I refer to Todd as my 'magical job fairy godfather' because working with him has been such an unexpected blessing as I navigated a recent career transition. Throughout the process, I was constantly amazed that such a kind, organized, knowledgeable, and communicative human exists in this world. He genuinely cares and will cheer you on the entire way. Todd’s wealth of experience in all aspects of job seeking, combined with his dedication and tailored approach to YOUR needs, makes him an amazing ally for whatever assistance you’re seeking."

"I was applying to jobs I am well qualified for and hearing nothing at all in response from potential employers. Todd not only shifted the way I see my own unique compilation of skills, experiences and passions by guiding me to re-work my resume, but he formatted it in such a way that it passes through the digital screening processes to reach humans on the other end. I am no longer sending my resume into a black hole. I get personally written responses, and though I am still in the process of transitioning my career, Todd basically released the e-brake I was pulling while trying to make forward progress. Through this process I was also forced to reflect on a long career as a freelancer with a myriad of varied challenges and triumphs which has in a way, (and to butcher a beloved quote) built a foundation under my lofty dreams. Being in perpetual forward motion as an independent contractor had left little time for reflection, appreciation and integration of crucial experiences. Working with Todd was levels and layers more than simply fixing up a resume."

"I consider Todd to be a mentor of mine. From day-to-day advice in and out of the workplace to countless conversations on resume details and interview questions, Todd has shaped my career in several ways."

"I learned so much working with Todd. I learned how to craft a succinct and clear CV. I also learned how and why I wanted to make a career change. His process was more than just resume building. He helped guide me to the type of work I was interested in pursuing. His process gave me the life-long tools to navigate the exhausting world of job hunting. Now, as someone who reviews resumes myself, I can say that his talent is very much needed in the world! Although I had skills to offer a new job, I was unable to tell the story to potential employers through my resume. I am now on a career path that I am excited about, and I would not be here without Todd’s help."

"Todd is an excellent resource for job searches (and general life changes!) because he is such an engaged, active listener who genuinely cares about other people and their success. Like so many others, I was under pressure to find a new job at the beginning of the pandemic last spring, when the economy fell apart and no one was hiring. I still managed to find an amazing new job in all the madness thanks to Todd. His patience, kindness, experience and knowledge guided me through every step of the process, from resume building to offer negotiation. I can’t recommend him highly enough!"

"After working closely with Todd on rebuilding my resume and sharpening my interview skills, I have noticed a great difference in the amount of job opportunities I have been offered. I am grateful for Todd’s help for it has helped me see and appreciate my own potential, and it has led to professional growth."

"I reached out to Todd for a couple of tips and pointers for a grad paper application and was blown away by the thorough career support service. I was astonished by how thoughtful and dedicated Todd was in seeing my success with the grad paper, resume, and interview preparation. Todd went truly above and beyond and became my biggest supporter throughout the entire process. Todd provided detailed recommendations and multiple suggestions to ensure I presented strong and confident application materials. He answered all my questions and went beyond the call by providing ample information and advice to ensure I was properly prepared. But it didn't stop there. Todd was eager to provide additional job-seeking support and advice as I navigate the job search hunt! I can't recommend him enough as you can feel his passion and commitment from the get-go."

"Todd has supported and coached me at numerous times throughout my career, and I consult with him whenever there are key business decisions to make.  Over the years he has helped me evaluate internal and external job offers, consulted with me as I navigated complicated issues, and guided me through difficult situations with colleagues and direct reports.  Todd’s broad and diverse professional experiences enable him to look at problems from many different angles, though his guidance and advice is always driving towards my career goals, and delivered in a direct, honest and transparent manner."

"I am grateful for the help Todd extended to me my during my job search post doctoral degree. Even though I had ten years of full-time work experience, this was a new career for me in a totally different field. He reviewed my resume, gave helpful revision tips, as well as interview prep via email and over the phone before my actual in person interview. Needless to say, but I’ll say it anyways: I got the job I wanted! I really think Todd gave me the extra bit of polish I needed to shine extra bright during the application process. Thanks again!"

"Todd is both my trusted, long-time friend and go-to person for help in all aspects of the job search process. I trust him implicitly with my resume, LinkedIn profile, interview prep and offer negotiations. His extensive experience in the recruiting industry is invaluable. He even helped me refine my Match.com profile which led to a successful "match" with my now husband! His recruiting insights combined with his passion to help the jobseeker sell themselves and make him the person you want to help with your job search."

"Todd has a professional and strategic approach when it comes to finding you a new job. He helped me dial in on exactly what I wanted in a job, adjust my resume accordingly and he gave me tools to prepare for the interview. He has been a super valuable resource, and he's fun to work with."

"Todd is absolutely amazing and if you have the opportunity to work with him, consider yourself blessed by a level of support, skill and conscientiousness that is unmatched in negotiating career changes, resume writing, cover letters and the personal growth that unfolds along with professional development.   In all my years of receiving university advising, resume help, and career planning, Todd has exceeded the support and guidance exponentially both in the practical guidance and the coaching to bring your best self forward.  He’s a bit like a guardian angel, and will help you through every step of the process - giving you key insights and direction without doing the work for you.  In my time working with him we shifted gears multiple times - addressing resume, graduate school, and small business development. Each time he met me with enthusiasm, skill and knowledge.  Grateful beyond measure!"

"It is a tough market for those seeking new jobs whether it is an entry-level position or senior management. As I am later in my career, I thought I had all the tools and experiences I needed to land a new job. You can imagine that after multiple applications , a couple interviews and no job offers, I was starting to feel crushed. For the first time in my life, I decided to seek out a career coach to help with my job search. When I found Todd not only was there no hesitation from him to jump right in with me, but he also gave me new tools and resources to restart my job search. He worked tirelessly with me to revamp my résumé. Even though it had been written by a professional company, he gave me a different perspective that was so helpful. He offered such sound advice that I began to get callbacks and interviews immediately. His emails offering me feedback were so thorough and took me step-by-step through the whole process. I was blown away at his attention to all the details. Once I got an interview with a dream job, he quickly set up a time to do a mock interview and a follow up to make sure I was fully prepared. He was so good at keeping me accountable and on task and at the same time he was willing to listen when I needed to change plans. I don’t think I could have ever landed this dream job on my own without Todd’s coaching. I would’ve been stuck in the same place I had been for over a year doing the same job search without any luck. I can’t sing Todd‘s praises enough, and recommend him to anyone going through a career transition or newly jumping into the job market."

"Todd has been an amazing resource and coach for my process in finding a new job and landing a clinical placement for my graduate school program. He helped me through this process through email coaching, and the level of detail and expert advice that he gives is unmatched. He helped me refashion an outdated resume into a resume that really highlighted my gifts/strengths; coached me through the process of writing cover letters that produce responses; and best of all, his advice drastically increased my success with landing desired positions. During my interview process, I was getting several rejections despite a high response level from my resume and cover letter. I asked for feedback from these rejections, and Todd was able to give great advice that resulted in several job offers after incorporating this advice. I really recommend Todd, he has a heart of gold, and gives extremely detailed, actionable advice that produces results. I have to say that applying for jobs was really scary for me because I have had a whole bunch of jobs in different industries and had some gap time from school/the workforce, but working hard and applying Todd's advice diligently has created so many opportunities for me that I didn't have before. Thank you Todd for all you do!"
