About the Author

David "Woody" Woodall doesn't claim to have all the answers. In fact, he'll be the first to tell you he's still figuring it out, one laugh at a time.

A celebrated voice in humor writing and personal memoir, Woody is the author of I Don't Know How to Act My Age: I Have Never Been This Old Before - a witty, heartfelt, and deeply relatable exploration of what it really means to grow older in a world full of impossible expectations and invisible rulebooks.

With a sharp eye for life's contradictions and a natural gift for storytelling, Woody transforms the everyday chaos of aging, career shifts, relationships, and reinvention into laugh-out-loud moments that feel surprisingly profound. His writing style blends conversational warmth with razor-sharp humor, making even the most universal struggles feel like shared inside jokes between old friends.

Woody believes that no one, not a single person on this planet, truly knows how to "act their age." And rather than pretend otherwise, he's built an entire body of work around that beautiful, liberating truth. His philosophy is simple: life is an unscripted improv act, and the best thing you can do is lean in and laugh.

When he's not writing, Woody is living proof that curiosity never retires, second acts are always possible, and socks with sandals are always acceptable.
