Strong Towns is a national nonprofit that is dedicated to making communities across the country financially strong and resilient. Wright's role with Strong Towns involves spending time in towns and cities across the country and meeting with mayors, urban planners, locally focused philanthropists, and real estate developers that revitalize places.

Prior to that, he was a research fellow at the Georgia Center for Opportunity, a state-based public policy think-tank dedicated to increasing opportunity and improving the quality of life for all Georgians. He studied theology as an undergraduate. Wright and his wife live in Downingtown.
