A graduate of Buffalo State College with a bachelor's degree in business administration and a concentration in marketing, Tod began working for Marathon Roofing in 1988. He started in sales, working his way up to sales manager and eventually general manager under previous owner Doug Rowan. In January 2006, Tod purchased the company and moved it to a new facility in Orchard Park NY. Shortly after, he founded his second company, MRP Supports, which provides high quality paver support products through its distributor network.
In addition to being active in all aspects of the business, Tod participates in many trade shows annually and is involved in other organizations, like ANSI/SPRI to write the national standard for RD1 retrofit drains. He is also a graduate of the University at Buffalo School of Management’s Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership.
Tod resides in Hamburg with his wife, Tina, and their children Jake and Amanda also work for the Marathon Companies. During his free time, Tod enjoys traveling, spending time at the lake, playing golf, watching local sports, and visiting with his grandchildren, Gianna and Luca.
"I just completed re-roofing nearly 60,000 SF of 55-year-old roof on the 6th floor of the building here at the Tri-Main Center in Buffalo. I told the roofer at the onsite that I wanted Marathon replacement drains when we first walked the roof. That’s exactly what I got, The “Aluminator” replacement drain! Carmody Roofing went to their supplier, Beacon Building Products to get the dozen or so Marathon replacement drains I needed. I have to say that they add a great finishing touch to the new black EPDM roof. Kudos to the Marathon crew for providing the myriad of roof drain solutions and products for roofing needs everywhere!"
