Burt Todd - The Petroleum Pirate

Standing at six feet and built like an NFL linebacker, may seem imposing with a particular skill for frightening children during Halloween. Burt Todd is not a frightening man.  Students in his class love Todd and the constant pirate jokes that he tells. 


“Arrrgh,” Todd says mimicking the drawl of a stereotypical pirate.  “R, a pirate’s favorite letter.”  A few chuckles come from the students.  Todd believes that petroleum engineers are pirates looking for buried treasure.  In his office, Todd has a pirate hat very similar to what Johnny Depp wears as Captain Jack Sparrow.
