+ Fearless Love

To boldly stand with the people whom our systems push to the margins, we must not allow the disease of fear to affect any of our thoughts or actions. We strive to enact this belief in everything that we do, allowing love to drive our hearts, minds, and feet.

+ Expert Service

Our marginalized brothers and sisters deserve the very best services - legal, social, peacemaking, psychological, and more - that are equitable and empirically-based. We seek new opportunities to improve our systems so that we can better serve our clients’ needs, improving the lives of our entire community.

+ Holistic Reconciliation

Our individual lives and relationships often require heavy healing, especially for criminal justice system participants. With every interaction, we strive to guide each other through the hard road of reconciliation.

+ Embodying Jesus Christ

Our founders were motivated by the ideals of their Christian faith to start Restoring Justice. We strive to apply the meaning of Jesus’ example through his life, death, and resurrection. Regardless of their faith, our team members embody ideals of true justice, freedom, grace, forgiveness, mercy, and love. We open our arms to all who share these ideals to realize a new level of freedom, driven by and inclusive of the vast diversity of humanity.

+ Freedom for All

Inherent in defending marginalized people is the requirement to trust our clients and pursue what they desire. People of every economic level must be provided a humanized opportunity for liberty, respecting and protecting their inalienable rights as the top priority.

Todd joined the Restoring Justice board in 2025.

Todd Boring is a new addition to the Restoring Justice board, where he has brought in more than 20 years of information technology operations leadership at non-profits, healthcare, finance and retail institutions. Most recently Todd served as a Senior Customer Success Manager for VMware and Broadcom, driving adoption, renewals and cross-functional collaboration for Fortune 500 and public-sector clients.

Todd was born in Houston, Texas, raised in Ponca City, Oklahoma, and started his career in Penang, Malaysia, before being welcomed back into the sweaty arms of Houston in the mid-1990s. Todd holds a Bachelor of Science in Education from the University of Oklahoma, and a Master of Business Administration: Management Information Systems from the University of Houston. Todd has no interest in pursuing a PhD, so don’t ask.

Outside of family life with his wife and too many cats, Todd’s primary passion is bicycling. He rides frequently on trips to gather pastries and tasty adult beverages, hoping his miles logged cancel out the calories gained. Most recently he rode The Register’s Annual Bike Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI) with his uncle and 80-year-old father. His father not only survived but finished the 400-mile ride before Todd. Todd’s plans to collect his inheritance early were sadly thwarted.

In 2023, Todd served with Jubilee Prison Ministries, a Fourth-Day Program serving the incarcerated population of Texas. This opened his eyes to the justice system and the need for better advocacy for the vulnerable and marginalized. He looks forward to serving Restoring Justice and giving them to the tools to make a difference in the justice system.
