After high school, he attended the University of Central Oklahoma for his undergraduate degree before pursuing a Master's in Public Administration at the University of Oklahoma and a doctorate at Oklahoma State University. In 2013, Dr. Woolard joined the faculty at Emporia State University as the director of leadership studies and assistant professor of business administration.
