LANCE ALWORTH – “I have worked with Todd Tobias on a number of projects, ranging from historical football research to having him archive the memorabilia that I accumulated during my football career. I have been more than pleased with Todd’s work each and every time, and I will include him in any other projects that I may have in the future.”
TREVOR HOFFMAN – “Tracy and I were amazed with Todd’s ability. We had just moved into our new home, and when we first met Todd, there were literally piles lying all over the floor – baseballs, jerseys, gloves, and everything else that you can imagine. He was able to organize our memories and memorabilia into a tasteful and classy display that I am proud to show our guests.”
BRET BOONE – “I was referred to Todd by the Hoffman’s, and I was blown away by the results. After Todd was finished I had a memorabilia room that looks like a museum.”
JIM STEEG – former Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer of the San Diego Chargers, and Senior Vice President of Special Events of the National Football League – I have had the opportunity to work for a number of years with Todd. I gave him the project of redesigning the San Diego Chargers’ office in 2006. We wanted to encompass the almost 50 years of tradition as well as highlight the current team. He in effect made the office into a museum that has brouight a true feeling of belonging to all those who were ever involved with the Chargers.
BRETT PERKINS, author of Frantic Francis; How One Coach’s Madness Changes Football – “Thank you to… Todd Tobias – the expert on all things Sid Gillman – for being generous enough to share his vast collection of information as well as for securing for me a photo of Sir Sid.”
DAVE STEIDEL, author of Remember the AFL; The Ultimate Fan’s Guide to the American Football League – “Author Todd Tobias was invaluable for the help and advice he offered. His assistance, along with John Richards, in locating volumes of AFL films was invaluable. Todd is the author of Charging Through the AFL, which is the best Chargers history book ever written. And though not a card-carrying baby-boomer, his knowledge of the AFL is right up there with the best of them.”
JEFFREY J. MiILLER, author of Rockin’ the Rockpile; The Buffalo Bills of the American Football League – “I respectfully extend my sincerest gratitude to… Todd Tobias, author of Charging Through the AFL; Los Angeles and San Diego Chargers Football in the 1960s.”

The book is titled “Charging Through the AFL” and subtitled “Los Angeles and San Diego Chargers’ Football in the 1960s” (Turner Publishing Co.). The author is Todd Tobias, who matriculated at the University of San Diego, and Alworth wrote the foreword.”
STEVE SCHOFIELD - The North County Times - October 24, 2004 – New Book Recounts Chargers’ Early Era – “For those of us who have been around a long time, it is a trip down memory lane. For sports fans who want to know about how the American Football League – and the Chargers – were conceived, this is a must-read.”
BILL J. ADAMS, Former Executive Director for The San Diego Hall of Champions Sports Museum – “A question often asked by readers of resumes such as this is, “would you re-employ Todd if you had future openings in this or any business you might become involved with?? The answer is ‘in a heartbeat, without reservation.’”
SEASONS– Official Newsletter of The San Diego Hall of Champions – Summer 2002 – “Everyone at TEN Compass North wants to give a big thank you to Todd Tobias, the Hall’s Curator, for his endless availability to our staff. Todd is our contact at the Hall for identifying the historical sports personalities and highlighted moments of San Diego sports history. Our designer was able to bring Todd’s story lines to life through the use of space design, graphics, and placement of artifacts. The stories were further enhanced by video of actual film footage that has been collected by the Hall over the years. Todd is also instrumental in providing all the photographs used in the graphics and in providing the film used in the many video selections available.’
