Full Biography
Leading the third generation of the Wood family in the Kirkwood - Webster area, Kevin A. Wood brings a level of knowledge and understanding to the Real Estate market that you would expect from a good neighbor. This is only because Kevin and his family have quite literally been your neighbor and friend for decades running. The Wood family first put down roots in St. Louis in 1925 when Floyd E. Wood Sr. Purchased a storefront in Old Orchard, Webster Groves that would become the original Wood Rexall Drug Store. This location would flourish and serve the Webster Groves community for another 40 years. During this time, War with Japan in the Pacific broke out, calling away Floyd E. Wood, Jr.
Floyd E. Wood, Jr., son of Floyd E. Wood Sr. served on the aircraft carrier Antietam for the duration of his tour and return safely to his family and community in the Kirkwood - Webster area.

Floyd E Wood Jr., now the patriarch of his own family, had eight children of his own that would all at some point help run the Wood Rexall and serve their community as the previous generations had before them. One daughter, Barbara A. Wood, would go as far as to graduate from the St. Louis College of Pharmacy and serve as the pharmacist at Wood Rexall, cementing the Wood family as the premier source of experience in the matter. Barbara would then go on to become a State of Missouri Pharmacy Inspector.
In addition to the Wood family pharmacy historical legacy, Floyd E. Wood Jr. pursued his investment aspirations in real estate while running a successful Rexall Drug Store. Floyd built numerous commercial buildings and worked on commercial land development projects, as well as investing in various single and multi family rental properties and completing total home renovations. While attending college, pursuing his flying career, Kevin joined his father’s efforts and passion in real estate by remodeling properties, managing rental property, and collecting rent payments from his father’s tenants.
