Todd Whitthorne is much more than a health speaker. He currently serves as president and chief executive officer of Cooper Concepts, Inc, a division of Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas. It is here where he has been able to expand his already vast knowledge of health and wellness and thus be able to further enrich his audiences at his health and wellness presentations.
Todd also serves as chairman of the Our Kids’ Health Foundation, a nonprofit which serves as an organization to help reduce inactivity and obesity among children in Texas. Mr. Whitthorne is also a member of the International Association for Worksite Health Promotion (IAWHP), the American College of Sports Medicine, in addition to serving on the Board of Directors for the Dallas GET A MOVE ON campaign. For over eight years, Todd has been working side by side with Dr. Ken Cooper as the executive producer and host of Healthy Living with Dr. Ken Cooper, a nationally syndicated weekly radio program heard in over 42 cities across the United States as well as online.
After receiving a bachelors of science in kinesiology with an emphasis in exercise health from UCLA, Todd jumped feet first into a broadcasting career that took him from Washington D.C. to Phoenix and Dallas. He won multiple awards including an Emmy and a Katie as co-host of “Good Morning Texas” on WFAA-TV, a Dallas, TX ABC affiliate. Todd still stays involved in television, and since 2005 has served as the television host for the Dallas White Rock Marathon and the Dallas YMCA Turkey Trot.
