CR Wood, born in the alkali capital of the world, Delta, Utah, was raised as a feedlot cowboy, educated as an animal nutritionist, and became a fair-to-middling bulldogger, whose business card reads "Auctioneer."  C.R. caught the "Horse People" disease as a baby riding the pommel of his dad's old Visalia rig, and the "Cowboy Poetry" disease while doing an oilfield auction in, of all places, Saudi Arabia.  "Writing rhyming verse just sort of kept the lonelies at bay."

2009 president of Cowboy Poets of Utah and 2010 member of the board of directors of the organization, C.R. is a highly entertaining poet and performer.  CR makes his home in Sevier County, Utah.
