Richard Ivan "Dick" Winwood (born January 18, 1943) is an author, religious leader, and business executive with Franklin-Covey.
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.
Winwood was a founding executive and Chief Operating Officer of Franklin-Covey (formerly Franklin Quest and Franklin International Institute), which has published some of his books. He was the principal designer of the first Franklin Day-Planner and author of the original Franklin Time Management Seminar.
Winwood has been chairman of BioMeridian International Inc (formerly Magellan Technology), a non-invasive medical screening device manufacturing company in Draper, Utah, and Keystone Aviation LC (dba Million Air Salt Lake City/Provo), an aircraft services company. He also founded WinAir Airlines in 1997, and Million Air LLC in 2001, and is the current owner of Intermountain Air.
