From the time Pastor Wright was seven years old he has always had a heart focused on reaching those in need. He sold candy, worked at a local car wash, cut lawns, and held other odd jobs to help assist his mother in support of six brothers and sisters. He has always been an entrepreneur and philanthropist while serving in the body of Christ.

While in High School he was very active in Student Government, he was on the Principal/Student advisory board, remained on the honor roll and was All City Defensive End on the Varsity Football team where he received a four year scholarship to Colorado State University. Choosing rather to pursue his Entrepreneurial accomplishments he opted not to attend the University. Since 1986 he has operated and sold several businesses, he currently is the CEO of a monthly advertising publication company.

In 1996 the Lord spoke to Pastor Wright through a clarion call and imparted in him the vision of New Ark of the Covenant Church. However, at that time God had him working in another part of the vineyard. He was serving under the Leadership of Bishop Arthur Pierce at the Greater Emmanuel Grace Church in Tucson, Arizona. In 1999 he moved to San Diego and joined the Greater Apostolic Faith Temple Church Inc., under the leadership of District Elder Dwayne Shepherd; where he served as the Prison ministry director, Homeless ministry director, the Liaison to the Pastor for the ministerial staff, and the Elder's Board director.
