Outside Maynard Nexsen

Although Todd fancies himself to be a comedian, rarely do his clients get to see that side of him (and those that do, probably don't think he is very funny). Todd and his wife, Joy, love to travel and experience other cultures and learn new ways of thinking. They often try to learn new languages prior to their trips, but this has been quite a challenge for Todd. In fact, he believes that his best chance to succeed in comedy would be to move to Germany because every time he speaks German everyone starts laughing hysterically.
