Todd A Fonseca
grew up in the northern Indiana city of Mishawaka. This
small town is home to a large Amish community. Those
visiting the area experience the Amish through the
town's shops and nearby Amish Acres. Todd learned of the Amish
culture through frequent family Sunday drives to rural
Nappanee Indiana.
During these early years,
Fonseca's interest in the arts began with music. He
became an accomplished accordionist participating in
national competitions leading to a #4 placement in 1983.
Fonseca has also performed in New York's Carnegie
Recital Hall. His high school career added
drama to his resume. Having the role of curmudgeon Mr.
Hassler in The Pajama Game, led to being cast as the
lead in the production Jack and the
Beanstalk.
He's published two books in the
Aaron and Jake Time Travel Adventure Series.
At Marquette University, Fonseca received a
Biomedical Engineering graduate degree. His professional
career includes numerous positions in medical device
companies. He is currently a senior clinical research
director for a company researching deep brain
stimulation for treating conditions such as Parkinson's
Disease. Fonseca lives in Minnesota with his wife and
four boys. |
