About Wood

I worked for Dickinson Theatres for 20 years. It was a family held business founded in 1920. For 10 of those years I was president/CEO of the company. I grew the company from a $20M a year theatre chain to a $40M a year chain.
Dickinson had a core staff of about 30 Home Office and 40 managers in the field. At times each year we’d staff up to 2000 staff members. My interaction was with the Board and senior management as well as doormen, ushers and everything in between. I reshaped the company from a command and control structure to a dynamic and creative environment where failure was an option and personal growth was paramount.
In 1994 I began teaching the 7 Habits program in our company. I aided the then Covey Leadership Center develop a one day class for frontline staff so everyone could be touched by the effort.
In 2000 I left Dickinson and started an ongoing consultant practice called Think, LLC. I also started Renegade Pictures and I’ve written two produced features and produced four features.
I’m a writer, producer, photographer and consultant.

Before he can complete his task, he’s discovered and dies at the hands of nephilim – soulless, virtually immortal offspring of outcast angels and human women – led by the ruthless Prandor. But the box is a decoy. The real one has been hidden. It isn’t found again for more than 800 years, and it takes another 100 years to reveal the true nature of its contents. The Kingdom Project is Prandor’s plan to conquer not just this world but all worlds. As an immortal, he has plenty of time. His only enemies are the Sons of Jared, a mysterious group of fighters whose sole responsibility is to protect humankind from the nephilim. By 1968, however, the Sons of Jared are weak and scattered, most of them murdered in a single massacre near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. Only the discovery of a mysterious plate of hammered gold – part of the contents of the metal box hidden for so many centuries – is enough to force a few Sons of Jared into regrouping and starting to fight back. The discoverer of the gold plate is a half-Hopi Indian, half-white New Englander. The reluctant Sons of Jared are a professor of comparative religions who is visited regularly by a red-eyed demon, an archeologist who has spent five years in an alcoholic stupor, and a Hopi Indian shaman whose motives are cause for suspicion. Together, William Clark, Rachel Morgan, Dave Mathews and the shaman called Huiksi set out to match strength and wits with an apparently unbeatable foe. Along the way, these four unlikely comrades confront their own internal demons. Finally, in a desperate, last-ditch attempt to prevent Prandor and his nephilim army from making Earth a staging ground for conquest of the universe, they come to understand the source of true power – love and shared humanity.
