Meet Todd

I've been a full-time real estate professional since 2002, but my fascination with homes started long before that. Growing up in southern Idaho, I spent countless hours wandering through new construction neighborhoods, studying floor plans, and flipping through real estate magazines cover to cover. Long before I understood the business, I was captivated by the idea of home—how the places we live shape our lives, our communities, and our sense of belonging.

Over the course of my career, I've worn many hats: broker, team leader, managing broker, executive, board member, and entrepreneur. Each role taught me something different about real estate, but they all reinforced the same belief: people do their best work when they are trusted, supported, and connected to a purpose larger than themselves.

In 2018, I shifted my focus from sales leadership into brokerage leadership. With the guidance of exceptional mentors and the opportunity to work alongside remarkable brokers, I developed a partnership-based approach to leadership grounded in accountability, collaboration, and mutual respect. Together, we built a culture that valued both performance and belonging, an experience that fundamentally shaped how I think about business and community.

That work ultimately led to the founding of Ensemble in 2023. I believed there was room in our industry for something different: a brokerage designed around participation rather than extraction, where brokers could have meaningful influence over the organization they helped build. After months of collaboration with industry leaders and practitioners, Ensemble opened its doors on April 13, 2023.

Today, Ensemble is home to an extraordinary group of professionals who share a commitment to competence, community, collaboration, contribution, and compassion. As Managing Partner, my role is equal parts steward, advocate, and builder. I help shape the systems, culture, and strategy that allow our members to thrive while never losing sight of the people we ultimately serve.

At its best, real estate is about more than property. It's about helping people find belonging, build community, and create the lives they want to live. Whether I'm supporting a broker, advising an organization, or helping a client navigate an important decision, that's the work that continues to inspire me.

The title “realtor” doesn’t fully encapsulate what Claire is – she is one of the most kind, caring, and genuine people I’ve ever met. It doesn’t feel like you’re working with a realtor when you work with Claire, it feels like y...
