Todd Perry
was born and raised just outside
Nashville, Tennessee. He attended
college in Clarksville, Tennessee,
where he graduated in 1985 from
Austin Peay State University.
Todd's career
has spanned several different positions
in marketing, design and product
development for companies such as
Brunswick, Murray Ohio Manufacturing,
Roadmaster Corporation and even
Mercury Records in London.
Among Todd's many
corporate accomplishments: directing
the design and development team
for Roadmaster Corporation, named
during his tenure as one of Fortune
Magazine's 100 fastest growing companies.
Most recently,
Todd was vice president of market
development for Cardinal Brands
in St. Louis, before helping to
launch the Pujols Family Foundation
as Executive Director in 2005.
Before joining
the Pujols Family Foundation, Todd
was active as a volunteer for a
number of non-profit organizations,
including The Time Out Center, The
Bridge Teen Center, and as a committee
member for Christian Family Day,
an annual promotion held in conjunction
with the St. Louis Cardinals.
Todd is
a man of many talents, Deidre
Pujols says. He is an amazing
fine artist and illustrator, creating
several of our Christmas prints
each year. He is a great designer
and does all of our presentations
and much of our video work on top
of his management responsibilities
for the Foundation.
When asked about
his role with the Pujols Family
Foundation, Todd says, "It
all comes down to Albert and Deidre's
vision for 'Faith, Family and Others'.
I see my role as a conduit to channel
the love and compassion they have
for people in need.
"One person
at a time, one family at a time,
we are making a significant difference
in the lives of so many deserving
people."
The question
I get most often is how and why
we started the Foundation,
Perry says. Over time, I have
shortened the long one-hour story
to simply: God had a plan and we
were obedient to it.
Todd lives with
his wife and two children in St.
Louis County.
