Born and raised on his family's Texas Panhandle farm, Channy Wood lives by values learned early: honesty, fairness, responsibility and hard work. " Defending thos values attracted me to the law," Channy says. " I specialized in personal injury law because justice should be available to everyone, not just the rich and powerful." Channy spent several years working in the West Texas oil fields as a derrick hand, roustabout, welder and machinist before completing his education at Texas Tech. " Growing up on a farm, raising livestock, and working in the oil field gave me an education and experiences that cannot be learned in a classroom or at a university. I understand what its like to work from sunset to sunrise in the heat of July and the cold of January. I understand the lives and labor of working people because I have done it myself." Channy and his family continue their agrairian roots and traditions by continuing an active angus cow/calf operation, and overseeing peanut and cotton farming operations on land continuously operated by his family for four generations.
