Robert Todd

Robert is a professional bridge player and teacher whose hometown is Tallahassee, Florida, but you’ll find him all over the country and world playing and teaching bridge.
Robert plays bridge at every level from the local club to international championships. He’s finished in the top 20 on the Barry Crane list (with over 1500 masterpoints) in both 2008 and 2009, posted several top-10 finishes in National-level Pairs events with numerous partners, and won the 0-10,000 Knockout Teams at the Dallas NABC in 2014.
In July, 2018, an enthusiastic room of bridge players at our Bridge Center enjoyed Robert Todd’s seminar on Slam Bidding and Trump Management. Robert’s friendly style made the seminar both informative and enjoyable.
