TODD TALLEY

Finance Team Chair

Todd is a local boy, which probably won’t surprise you, given the recognizability of his family’s name and the role their farm plays in our county - a family farm at which he continues to work to this day. He grew up in Arroyo Grande, always enjoying school; and, when the time came, he migrated to the big city to receive his education in Political Economy at UC Berkeley. However, the Central Coast still had a hold on him and before long he was back in the area and bringing up the next generation of Talleys. Todd and his wife Jill have been huge supporters of the school, practically from the day they first heard of it, even before their own kids were old enough to attend! They were drawn to the classical education model because it enables us to study and take part in the Great Conversation that has occurred for millennia and is still taking place today. When Todd is not working on the farm or tending to his duties as the Chair of SLOCA’s Finance Committee, you’ll find him spending time with family, serving at church, running, hiking, and reading.
