Todd Sanford

Todd joined Mercer Advisors when his firm, Sanford Advisory Services, was acquired in 2022. He works closely with our M&A Partner Development team to help guide advisors decisions around business succession, growth strategies, and technology solutions. Todd began his career in financial services in 1983 and was the first financial advisor hired directly out of college by Investors Diversified Services (IDS), now Ameriprise Financial. The Sanford Center for Financial Planning and Wellness at his alma mater, Western Michigan University, is part of his legacy. The center gives students and community members hope to live a better life financially. Todd is formerly the board president of the Kalamazoo Valley College Foundation after serving as treasurer.

In his spare time, he enjoys competitive travel tennis, which he has been pursuing for more than 35 years. He also enjoys skiing, reading biographies, various forms of art, antique cars, and many activities involving his deep Christian faith.
