About Todd
I was born "Todd Harris Fries" in the summer of 1978. I spent the first nine years of my life in the northern Jersey suburbs before my family moved to Los Altos, California. The formative years of my childhood were spent in Silicon Valley where I attended Homestead High School, whose famous alum include the likes of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. I attended and graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in Westwood, CA. At UCLA, I was an active member of many student organizations including the nationally renowned UCLA Advertising and Marketing Team. In the fall of 2006, I began my 1L year at Santa Clara University School of Law. I graduated Cum Laude from Santa Clara University School of Law with a certificate in public interest and social justice.
Currently, I am the Associate Director of the Northern California Innocence Project (NCIP). NCIP's mission is to promote a fair, effective and compassionate criminal justice system and protect the rights of the innocent. As NCIP's Associate Director, I am responsible for ensuring professional operations and management and enhancing the organization’s overall efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability.
In my free time, I enjoy playing and watching sports, rooting on the UCLA football and basketball teams, relaxing on Hawaiian vacations, writing poetry and children's books, and spending time with my family.
