Vestry Nominee: Todd Bertsch
Todd has been a steadfast resident of Long Island for the bulk of his life. Growing up in Manhasset and Oyster Bay, he moved to Cold Spring Harbor in the late 1990s. He has one older sister living in Austin and a brother in Locust Valley. His parents, accustomed to Florida's warmth, are planning a move to Huntington this summer, eager to become members of St. John's.
Since establishing himself in Cold Spring Harbor in the summer of 1998, Todd has been a consistent attendee at St. John’s services. An enthusiast of the outdoors, he indulges in tennis, golf, and gardening. Todd is a father to three sons—Colin (23), Winn (20), and Beckett (13)—and a daughter, Merrill (12). Each of his children has journeyed through the CSH School District. Having had the rite of baptism at St. John's, Colin and Winn moved on to confirmation, while Beckett and Merrill are navigating that path currently. Their involvement extends to the annual Christmas Pageant at the church. Todd is keen to lend his aid to St. John’s excellent leadership team, aiming to amplify the community's engagement through his role in the Vestry.
