Todd began his golf course architecture career in 1996 when he graduated with a BLA in Landscape Architecture from Ball State University and joined the Lohmann team as a design apprentice.  In 2018, Todd was promoted to a partnership role as Vice President of Design, prompting the changing of the company name to Lohmann Quitno Golf Course Architects, Inc.  With over two decades of experience, Todd has been involved in a half dozen new course designs and over 150 renovation projects ranging in size from one-hole feature upgrades to 27-hole comprehensive overhauls.

Recognized for its balance of artistry and practicality, Todd’s nationally acclaimed renovation work continues to improve the quality and viability of existing golf courses while embracing community and environmental connections and the growth of the game. For these outstanding efforts, he has been recognized by numerous local and national organizations, including Golf Inc. magazine’s Renovation of the Year (2004, 2005, 2010, 2012) and the ASGCA’s Design Excellence Award (2014).

In 2010, Todd was elected into the prestigious American Society of Golf Course Architects as an associate member.  In 2015, he achieved regular member status and now sits on the Board of Governors.  Todd has been invited on numerous occasions to share his expertise as a seminar speaker at local and national conferences on a variety of golf design subjects such as Master Planning, Storm Water Management and Grow the Game Initiatives.

"As Golf Course Superintendent at Tippecanoe Lake Country Club, it has been my pleasure to be involved in two major projects with Todd and his predecessor, Bob Lohmann, Both were completed on time and at budget. The design team was wonderful to work with, and our membership is very pleased with the results. In fact, our membership has grown since the completion of the projects and the excitement has them continuously asking me: ‘What's next?’”

“Like any facility contemplating a project, we had a vision of what we wanted. It takes a talented and focused company to interpret someone else’s vision and provide a product that compliments it exactly. This team has that talent and focus. They provided us with a facility that meets every expectation we laid in front of them and one that we are extremely proud of. The foresight, planning and execution Todd brought to the table as lead architect positioned Indian Creek well for many years to come.”

Jim Nedrow GCS
Superintendent, Indian Creek Golf Course

“During the past 25+ years I have worked directly with Todd and his predecessor, Bob Lohmann, at both of our golf facilities on a diverse range of projects. Both have demonstrated a passion and commitment to meeting or exceeding our expectations on each project, understanding the unique challenges that we face at each of our golf facilities and developing solutions that meet player expectations and that are cost effective. This expertise has been a big key to our success!”
