Meet the Friendly Owners
Sterling and Leigh Woody are native Texans that God called back to Texas after a 4 year project in Nashville, TN. Sterling was born in Abilene and graduated from New Braunfels high school. Leigh was born in Brenham and after spending most of her school years in Anchorage, Alaska, graduated from high school in California.
Both attended Baylor University and graduated in 1978 (Sterling BBA and Leigh BSN). Even though at Baylor at the same time, they did not meet until moving to Dallas to pursue their careers in business and nursing.
After marriage and two boys (Abe and Ben), Leigh gave up her nursing career to take care of the family with the first few years in Tulsa, Oklahoma and then Round Rock, Texas where the boys finished high school.
Sterling worked in various industries and positions but mainly focused on operations in the import/export market before being introduced to the Christian Brothers Automotive concept. He knew in his heart that this was an opportunity that he had been seeking and God had prepared for him.
With the chance to create an atmosphere where customers and employees would know that our goal is to strive to implement the simple but effective Golden Rule of treating others as you would be treated, is an environment that is the only true way to be in business.
Sterling and Leigh’s oldest son Abe (Baylor BA, 2011) and wife Debbie (Baylor BA, 2005) have three sons, Brooks, Walker and Davis and live in Carlsbad, CA. Ben attended Baylor and finished his BBA at the University of Incarnate Word and after working at the Christian Brothers in Georgetown and a short stint at the Woodway store, he is now the General Manager for the Christian Brothers Store in Tyler, Texas.
