A retired attorney, newspaperman, and newspaper editor, he graduated from the Law School at the College of William and Mary in 1987, after having studied the Great Books at St. John's College of Maryland. He was admitted to the practice of law in three jurisdictions (New York, May 1989; Maryland, December 1990; Washington, DC, January 1994). His law practice was unsuccessful enough to drive him into bankruptcy soon thereafter. He then worked for the newspaper "St. Mary's Today." He currently works as a tech writer in Virginia, where he lives with his wife, the author L. Jagi Lamplighter (St. John's College of Maryland, class of 1985), and their three children, whom he calls Orville, Wilbur, and Just Wright. At the age of 42, Wright converted from atheism to Christianity.
