Early life and education

Todd was raised in Boston by his parents, about whom only little is known because he respects their privacy; it’s believed that his mother was a high school teacher, and that his father was a real estate agent. Todd hasn’t mentioned having any siblings, and is thus believed to be an only child.

He grew up being interested in various activities and it was while he was attending a local high school that he became interested in graphic design. Todd was sporting during those four years, playing both soccer and volleyball, and he also enjoyed appearing in school plays.

Upon matriculating in 1995, he enrolled at Boston University, from which he graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in graphic design in 1999.

Since 2017, Todd has been working on the critically acclaimed comedy series “Young Sheldon”, created by Steven Molaro and Chuck Lorre, and which stars Iain Armitage, Zoe Perry and Lance Barber.

In October 2013, when asked about his and Todd’s relationship, Jim described it as ‘an act of love, coffee in the morning, going to work, washing the clothes, taking the dogs out—a regular life, boring love’.

The two men married in a private ceremony in May 2017, attended by only the closest of their friends and family members.

They don’t have children together, but there are rumors circulating the internet claiming that Jim and Todd are planning to adopt; these haven’t been confirmed, nor have Jim and Todd addressed them.
