Mr. Todd Humphreys
My first job was working at my Dad’s butcher shop from the age of 12 to 22. In high school, I acted in plays like “Up The Down Staircase”, “Night of January 16th”, and “Fame”. For “Grease”, I was the lighting technician.
Later, I directed some one acts and even took one to the Fullerton College Theatre Festival, which I later judged for the past 30 years.
I graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a degree in Theatre Arts with an emphasis in Television Production. While in college, I built relationships by joining Kappa Sigma Fraternity.
I started work as a production assistant for The Young and the Restless...for free. For five years, I worked for a company that made documentaries for the Discovery Channel as a department manager.
Later, I worked for a company that rented out ENG equipment and crew (during the O.J. trial) as the Controller.
I worked for Fox Sport Net for four years as a head of a department. My budget was one million dollars. At one point, I did temp work and was then hired to run the front office for AccuBanc preparing loan packages. For a couple of years, I was the site manager for the Taco Bell Corporate Office. As a site manager for Pitney Bowes, I oversaw the staff of the copy center, mailroom, and Audio/Visual departments.
I really enjoyed my three years at Google in Irvine as the Facilities Manager. I worked for six years as a district manager for Ricoh Professional Services. For 24 years, I was an independent wedding videographer as a weekend job. More recently, I worked as Producer and Co-Director for 6 years doing an after-school musical program for local elementary schools while getting my teaching credential. While in school and directing, I made extra money as a limo driver. I started at Villa Park High in Spring of 2020 and I am excited to be at this AMAZING school! Let's have fun learning about the business world!
