Biographical background

Winwood was born in Portland, Oregon to Robert Ivan Winwood and Edna Pauline Enz. He attended Portland State University and Seattle City University.

Winwood was raised as a Protestant, though skeptical of organized religions. He was given a copy of the Book of Mormon when he was around twenty-five and a married father of two. This led to his conversion and 1971 baptism into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in Portland, Oregon. Shortly afterward, his new faith was shaken by the anti-Mormon book Who Really Wrote the Book of Mormon?. This led to his investigation of anti-Mormonism and involvement in Mormon apologetics. In the 1990s he published a book and video defending the LDS Church against critics.

Winwood is married to Judith Annette Rigas and they have four children. They currently reside in Cottonwood Heights, Utah.
