Prior to his appointment as Secretary of Natural
Resources, Mr. Woodley served as Deputy Attorney General of Virginia for Government Operations beginning in 1994. The Government Operations Division of the Attorney General's Office represents all state agencies assigned to the Secretaries of Administration, Finance,
Transportation, Commerce and Trade, and Natural Resources, in addition to the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, the Workers' Compensation Commission, the Virginia Lottery and the Virginia Retirement System.

As Deputy Attorney General for Government Operations, Mr. Woodley provided legal support to all of the agencies of the Natural Resources Secretariat. His work included providing day-to-day legal advice to these agencies and managing all litigation in which they were concerned. He supervised several major environmental
enforcement actions and achieved significant successes in actions against Lone Mountain Processing in Lee County and Lorton Prison and Colonial Pipeline in Fairfax County. Mr. Woodley also led Virginia's legal efforts to preserve
decentralized auto emissions testing in Northern Virginia and to object to the imposition of the so-called "California car" requirements in Northern Virginia.

In 1996, Mr. Woodley was principal staff support for the Governor's Commission on Environmental Stewardship, which was chaired by then-Attorney General Jim Gilmore. This Commission, the largest and most diverse group ever to study
Virginia's environmental policies, met with literally hundreds of concerned Virginians in every corner of the Commonwealth, and issued a comprehensive report which provides the blueprint for responsible environmental protection in Virginia now and in the future.

Mr. Woodley also managed Attorney General Gilmore's reform of Virginia's outside counsel appointments, instituting a merit-based selection and management process which has been widely praised for opening up Virginia's outside counsel
selection process and removing partisan considerations. Virginia's system is regarded as a model for other States.

Mr. Woodley first came to Virginia in 1970 to attend Washington & Lee University in Lexington, on an Army R.O.T.C. scholarship. He received a bachelor of arts degree from Washington & Lee in 1974, and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Mr.
Woodley also attended the Law School at Washington & Lee, where he received his juris doctor degree cum laude in 1977.

Immediately after law school, Mr. Woodley was law clerk to the late U.S. District Judge D. Dortch Warriner of the U.S. District Court in Richmond from 1977 until 1979.

Mr. Woodley entered active duty with the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General's Corps in 1979, where he served as a prosecutor and command legal advisor for the 1st Armored Division in Germany. After returning from Germany in 1983, Mr. Woodley was assigned to the Pentagon with the Office of the Judge Advocate General of the Army, Litigation Division, as a litigation attorney in the Civilian Personnel Branch.

Mr. Woodley left active military service in 1985 and returned to Richmond, where he was in private practice of law until 1990. In 1990, Mr. Woodley was appointed Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney for Henrico County, where he specialized in white-collar criminal prosecution. Mr. Woodley left this post to join the Attorney General's Office in January 1994.

After leaving active military duty in 1985, Mr. Woodley remained active in the Army Reserve. He joined the Office of the Staff Judge Advocate of the 80th Division in Richmond in 1986, serving as an assistant staff judge advocate. In 1992,
Mr. Woodley was selected as Deputy Staff Judge Advocate for the 80th Division, where he served until 1997. In 1997, Mr. Woodley was selected for his current position as a reserve military judge assigned to the U.S. Army Trial Judiciary in
Falls Church, Virginia. In this position, Mr. Woodley is assigned as needed to preside at courts martial at active U.S. Army installations in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. Mr. Woodley holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Reserve, and has been awarded the Army Achievement Medal, the Army
Commendation Medal (1st Oak Leaf Cluster), and the Meritorious Service Medal (2nd Oak Leaf Cluster).

Mr. Woodley is a member of the Virginia State Bar, and admitted to practice before the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Fourth, Fifth, Eleventh, District of Columbia, and Federal Circuits, the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, and the United States Supreme Court.
