Todd Reese, President and Co-Founder, Realize Inc
Todd received his Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University in 1993. He started in the rapid prototyping industry as his final semester was winding down. Early in his career, he had the opportunity to work hands on with a variety of 3D Printing technologies and it quickly became a passion.  As a founding owner of Realize, Inc., Todd envisioned an organization where customer service and quality were paramount. His mission was to package those attributes with an environment that breeds creativity, comaraderie, fun and excitement.  We’d say his plan came together quite well.

Todd is always on the go and doesn’t even drink coffee. We thought The Flash was just a comic book character until we slipped him some coffee once. When away from the office Todd enjoys spending quality time with family and friends. He also enjoys outdoor activities including golf, sand volleyball, concerts and relaxing on the patio with an ice cold beverage, if that counts.
