Over the years with White Knight, Todd’s title expanded to include President, Owner, Dealer, Realtor, and MFH appraiser just shy of twenty years. He was a respected Nevada businessman who built his company to become the NO. 1 Manufactured Home Business in Northern Nevada with more home listings and sales than any other Used Manufactured home company in Northern Nevada.

Todd was recently nominated and voted in to be on the board of directors for the Northern Nevada Housing Alliance, which only has five members on the board. An honor bestowed only to great businessmen.

Todd enjoyed putting on tailgate parties to support the UNR football team and fans alongside his employees and friends serving up to 1,000 free hotdogs to anyone who came to support the Wolf Pack. He also provided bottles of water to the UNR Wolf Pack Marching Band members. They honored Todd and White Knight with a gigantic, framed picture signed by all the members of the marching band that still hangs in the entry of the White Knight office at 145 Bailey Dr. Reno, NV. Todd was so proud of this amazing gesture from the marching band.

Todd was devoutly devoted to everyone and everything he ever did. He was ambitious and always positive about the future and a real perfectionist. Todd was unselfish and loving, and always willing to help others even if it meant having many sleepless nights. Todd was and will always be, THE WHITE KNIGHT.
