== Biographical background ==
Compton is a member of [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]]<ref name=Smith>Smith, Julie M. "An Interview with Todd Compton". http://www.timesandseasons.org/?p=2826. Accessed 1 November 2007.</ref> who lived for a number of years in [[Santa Monica, California]].<ref name=Sign/>  He has served an [[Missionary (LDS Church)|LDS mission]] to [[Latter-day Saint movement in Ireland|Ireland]].<ref>*{{cite journal|first=Todd|last=Compton|title=Counter-Hierarchical Revelation|journal=[[Sunstone Magazine]]|volume=15|issue=2|date=June 1991|pages=34–41|format=[[PDF]]|url=https://www.sunstonemagazine.com/pdf/082-34-41.pdf}}</ref>  He studied [[violin]] with [[Richard Nibley]]<ref name=Smith/> and has played electric violin with singer-songwriter Mark Davis.<ref name=Sign/>  In 1982 he completed a [[Master of Arts|master's degree]] from [[Brigham Young University]].  He later received a [[Ph.D.]] from [[UCLA]] in [[Classics]] (concentrating on [[Greek mythology|Greek]] and [[Indo-European mythology]]) which he taught for a year at [[University of Southern California|USC]].<ref name=Smith/>  He also taught at UCLA and [[California State University, Northridge]].  He has been an independent researcher since 1993, drawing a regular income by working as an ADS specialist for a law office.<ref name=Smith/>

Compton began his serious work in Mormon history as a Visiting Fellow at [[the Huntington Library]] studying the journals of [[Eliza R. Snow]].  He found that his [[Classics]] background helped his Mormon history work by teaching him respect for these primary documents.<ref name=Smith/>  While researching, and trying to note people identified in Snow's journals, Compton found that he needed a good list of [[Joseph Smith, Jr.|Joseph Smith]]'s plural wives.  Not finding one, he began researching his own list, which eventually grew into his 1997 book, ''In Sacred Loneliness: The Plural Wives of Joseph Smith''.
