TODD GOODRICH - Parts Manager

Todd was born in Cheboygan, MI on June 5th, 1966. He is the oldest of 3 children born to his loving parents and has a sister (a nurse at Mary Immaculate Hospital) and a brother. Todd had completed all his grade school and high school education in Cheboygan when he immediately enlisted in the US Navy upon graduation. In the Navy, Todd quickly rose through the ranks retiring as a Senior Chief after 23 years of active duty. During his service to our country, Todd was stationed or worked at various ports all over the world where he experienced life in many different countries like Scotland, Algeria, England, Norway, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and more. In fact, there were 21 countries in all! Todd is a real world traveller. In the Navy he served in several different capacities including Fire Marshall, Damage Control/Chemical Warfare Maintenance Manager, Maintenance Officer, and Sheet Metal Shop Supervisor to name a few. After he retired in 2007, Todd decided to stay in the area because he had family here and liked the Hampton Roads way of life. Since then, Todd has worked for the VA Peninsula Regional Jail as a Corrections Officer then went to Norfolk Naval Shipyard as a Submarine Hull Structure and Tank Repair Specialist. During that time, Todd decided to go back to school and earn his college degree. He enrolled in Saint Leo University and will graduate this coming October with his Bachelor of Arts Degree. Congratulations Todd! Fortunately for Auto Haus, Todd lives within walking distance from our business and decided to inquire about a job one day. We were so impressed with Todd's background and desire to learn that we quickly brought him on as a Technician Trainee. When the position of Parts Manager for our 101 Greene Drive location opened up, Todd applied and got the job. His work ethic, attention to detail, and friendly demeanor with customers, suppliers and our technicians make Todd a valuable asset to Auto Haus. Todd has achieved great things in his life with the love and support of a wonderful wife and family. Married to his wife Patricia for 21 years, their lives have been filled with world adventure. Their union has produced 3 great sons and they live happily together in Yorktown, VA. In his spare time, Todd enjoys running, weight training, motorcycles, and motocross racing. Todd is here to serve whenever you need parts for your BMW, Volvo, Jaguar, VW, Audi, or Land Rover. Or, maybe you just want to hear a great story about his time in the Navy. Either way, Todd has you covered.
