Todd Broadbent knew he wanted to be an artist at a very early age but an equal aptitude for science and an award led him to the engineering field as a mechanical designer. He continued to draw and paint in his spare time and also taught himself graphic design turning to computer tools as soon as they became available. Finally, he decided to return to school to pursue the career he had always wanted. Todd received several scholarships while attending Temple University - Tyler School of Art and was soon being recognized and encouraged by the faculty, even being invited to accompany several doctoral students on an archeological dig in southern France to enhance his already established appreciation for Art History.
