Wood was originally from Michigan.^[2] He moved to Prescott, Arizona in 1891, and established a drug store. He was also active in the mining field, and was one of the people responsible for the development of the Hillside Mine.^[3] By the early 1900s, he and two partners had opened a mining investment firm, Wood, Dillon & Co.^[4]

In 1910 he was one of six Democrats selected to run for the positions as delegates to the state's constitutional convention.^[5] In the general election Wood was one of the five Democrats, along with a lone Republican selected to represent Yavapai County at the convention.^[6] He was one of the signers of the Constitution of Arizona.^[7]

Along with M. G. Cunniff, he was one of the two Democrats elected in the October 1911 primary to run for the state Senate.^[8] Both Wood and Cunniff won in December's general election, to become the first state senators from Yavapai County.^[9] During the first legislature, Wood served on six senate committees: Finance; Judiciary; Mines and Mining; Appropriations; Constitutional Mandates; and State Accounting and Methods of Business.^[10]

For over 50 years, starting in 1897, Wood was the official timekeeper for Prescott's "Frontier Days", billed as the "World's Oldest Rodeo".^[11]
