Mike Woody is a life long resident of Dayton, and has a passion for writing, which is good because he doesn't excel at much of anything else, except eating.
Woody has written for small-town newspapers since 2006 and has a degree in Creative Writing from Wright State University. (Perhaps something in the medical field would have been a better choice, but he passes out at the sight of blood). Woody enjoys going to the theatre, comedy clubs, festivals and anywhere else where he can get into for free as a member of the press. You can contact Woody at mwoody1976@gmail.com.
