About Todd Settergren

Do everything you ask of those you command.” -George Patton Since 1994, I have worked to protect my country from domestic and foreign threats. My service includes the Army and Navy either active or in reserve and with the police department. I have always been there to assist anyone in need either through training or active response. I want to continue to serve my community in which ever way possible and help produce positive outcomes for anyone in need. Starting in 2004, I was hired as a State Police Officer and continued my efforts to protect the community. I quickly was able to rise to the rank of Corporal and become the Department Rangemaster (Lead Firearms Instructor), Field Training Officer and Narcotics and Drug Identification trainer and investigator. This rewarding career provided me with many opportunities to keep the public safe. I also have worked in various IT positions in my time and have a great respect for what it does for society and how it will drive our future. I still build my own PC's, load software and design layouts for wired and wireless networks. I started with DOS in the 1980s helping my dads business. I was one of three kids in my elementary school library to train other kids and some adults how to use the computer in those days."Follow Me" was something I learned in the Army Infantry. I still use it everyday. To me, follow me is everything a leader must posses in order to get others around him or her to believe that what you're doing is right. You lead by example, you go through the door first, you do all the jobs no one else wants to do and do it well. When someone sees that they can follow you and knows they can trust you, they will do anything for you.
