In addition to his ministry background, Wright brings experience in the golf industry from previous roles at the Waupaca Country Club and Tulsa Country Club, where he gained expertise in golf operations, tournament coordination, customer service, and player engagement.
Wright graduated from North Central University in 2023 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Humanitarian Leadership. Prior to attending NCU, he earned an Associate's Degree in Pastoral Studies from Rhema Bible Training College in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He has also become a Licensed Minister through the Assemblies of God.
