WOODBRIDGE, Va. -- Derrick Wood knows barbeque, but he honed his culinary and business skills at a private university in Woodbridge.

Owner of Devine Barbeque in Motion, and a Dumfries Town Councilman, Wood received his Bachelors Degree from Stratford University in 2011. He continued on at the for-profit college to obtain his MBA in hospitality management.
