Woods a obținut o diplomă de licență în cadrul Universității Harvard (1994), respectiv o diplomă de master și un doctorat de la Universitatea Columbia (2000), toate în istorie. Teza sa[11] a fost publicată sub titlul The Church Confronts Modernity: Catholic Intellectuals and the Progressive Era.[12]
Woods are o poziție anti-imigrație. Acesta susține că libertarienii nu ar trebui să fie pro-imigrație (legală și ilegală), deoarece deschiderea granițelor(d) ar însemna încălcarea dreptului de proprietate.[18]
