- Abstract: Robert Woodward grew up in Decatur County, Georgia. He worked in a variety of jobs, including as an ambulance inspector, food services inspector, and as an employee of Georgia Industries for the Blind (GIB). After retirement, Woodward opened his own animal rehabilitation farm called Woody’s Gophers, and he also serves on the board of directors for the Humane Society.
