Doug & Thea Wood

Co-Founders

Doug & Thea Wood are Co-Founders of Valor Global Online and Doug is the Best Selling Author of “Church Boy To Millionaire,” with over 20,000 copies sold in its first six months.

Doug & Thea imagine a world where people live and express the riches within, rather than purely pursue the riches without; and accomplish both while teaching & equipping people to "level up" to live their best life.

Doug and Thea are passionate about equipping this next generation to WIN, meet them where they are at, listen to them, and prepare them well to thrive in this ever changing world. They do this by providing parenting and marriage coaching to focus on making the families whole here at Valor Global Online.

Most importantly, the Wood family has chosen to live life differently, to be set apart from the average. When they’re not traveling the world, they reside in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Doug and Thea have three children: Amaya (17), Katelyn (14), and Phoenix (5).
