Son of John Woods and Deborah Simon, Regas Woods was born with a congenital anomaly which did not allow his tibia and fibula to develop properly. Both of his legs were amputated at the age of two. Woods enjoys singing, riding ATVs and making music. He is also the co-founder of an organization called the Never Say Never Foundation which helps kids create a positive attitude through sport after overcoming adversity.
