A lover of fall colors:

 

William (Bill), grew up in Michigan attending schools in Lowell Michigan on the western state side and then in Lansing Michigan were he graduated from Lansing Everett High School.   Earvin "Magic" Johnson  was his high schools most famous graduate. Bill admits he was a horrible basketball player.

 

The Early Years:

Bill was a Star level Boy Scout who loved the outdoors and camping. His first public relations and sales job was renting cushions to the public, at an annual Lowell Showboat event, to raise money for the Boy Scouts.

 

He learned the challenges of running a business through working in his father’s gasoline and full-service station business near Michigan State University. The same University Magic Johnson helped lead to a NCAA Basketball championship and where Google's co-founder Larry Page graduated.

 

Summers in Michigan often involved week-end trips to his parent’s little summer lake cottage in northern Michigan. He recalls, with great pride, the first car his father gave him - a white 1959 Thunderbird.

 

Fall was always Bill’s favorite time of year.

The crisp cool Michigan days were invigorating. Drives through country roads with a sea of blazing red and yellow maple leaf colors surrounding you was inspirational. Friday night small town football games where you knew everyone were fun. And driving down town Saturday night in Grand Rapids or Lansing Michigan to experience the car-centric American Graffiti Movie style teen life, was the norm.

While he strived to be a high school sport athletic in Football and Baseball he was soon discovered to be a naturally talented thespian. His high school acting and speech career started with a dare from an english teacher. “None of you male jocks has the nerve to try out for a High School Play”, she exclaimed in class. And that was the beginning of over twenty High School, local community and Michigan State University (Summer Stock Theater) plays that Bill was an actor in. Also, while in High School Bill placed in State and Regional Forensic Oratory competitions. 

 

The College Years:

Bill never planned on earning three college degrees. He started as a Communications major to leverage his early success with theater and speech.

But growing up in Michigan with business recessions every three or four years the norm, Bill changed course to acquire a business degree to get a job.

 

A consoler convinced him he should procure a dual degree in finance and accounting to insure a job offer upon graduation. So first he obtained an AA in business with communications minor and then a BBA in accounting and finance with a minor in economics. He was also trained in two of the worlds three computer program languages at that time -Basic and Fortran. An MBA was obtained to meet the job requirements of a Senior Financial Analyst for his employer Rockwell International.

 

He paid 100% of his educational cost by working week ends running a local Gas and Service Station while in college and using savings from working as a Hartfort Insurance territory representative prior to college.  

 

Personal Community Accomplishments:

Leveraging his passion for inspiring school kids into learning, he donated time and teaching talent to Junior Achievement and Project Business for over a decade.

 

Through reviewing the backgrounds of younger successful people and multi-media, Bill convince students they could accomplish great things too. 

 

Another hit of Bill's was the creation of school stock picking teams and a stock market simulation game to engage kids through hands on learning.  Teaching the kids to work in teams to made decisions while learning about investing and capital markets provide a valuable and fun experience.

  

In a reunion with a former 1989 student (now successful businessman) Mr Wright learned his class prediction in the late 80's of a new Digital Revolution lead by younger twenty something people like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Michael Dell was captivating and inspiring to the grade school students.

 

The former student said he learned more about the Industrial Revolutional and American Capital Markets because he said "Mr. Wright, focused on the stories about the people who created it."  He also said "Mr Wright's prediction of the Second American Industrial Revolution being digital lead by young people and financed by old people -got us thinking we could  accomplish something big at a very young age too."

 

The former student requested we find a means to replicate that experience for more people. This website’s mission is to seek to accomplish that task while providing a store front for Window To Wall Street® and The Wright Solution® contract project capablities.

 

Mr Wright was surprised to learn that his multi-media story on Apple and Steve Jobs is this websites most popular section by a margin of 4x greater than the second most popular section.
