Todd Brigham

Executive Director

Todd was born in Colorado but grew up in Nikiski, AK.  He is a follower of Jesus, husband, and father of three awesome kids.  He received an engineering degree from LeTourneau University, worked in Wisconsin for a couple years, and then moved back to Alaska where he has worked for Tesoro and ConocoPhillips.  He enjoys sports and the outdoors but his true passion is helping youth to rise up, find purpose, and be who God created them to be.  Todd has been able to fulfill this passion by serving at a 180 youth ministry in Wisconsin and by serving as the youth leader at Lighthouse Community Church in Nikiski.   These experiences, combined with the desire to see youth succeed in life, helped lead to the founding of The Compass. ​
