With a professional background distinguished by public service and community involvement, Wright has long been recognized as one of the most trustworthy voices on the airwaves of the Intermountain West.
Wright is a Utah native who began his broadcast career while still a high school student and has been honored with many awards for his professional and community efforts, including induction into the Utah Broadcast Association Hall of Fame.
