Michael Wood was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado 1985, the only child of Carmen and Richard Wood. Currently a third generation military service member for over 12 years, his passion and ability to put words onto paper started in middle school. Not the most socially comfortable personality through grade-school, college, and even while pursuing his career, one day he chose to pour his range of emotions onto paper. The rest... is pure poetry. Michael grew up in the United States and Germany and has traveled around the world as a representative of the U.S. military. He currently lives in the Pacific Northwest.
