He teaches courses such as Principles of Management, Human Resources Management, and Leadership Development, emphasizing ethical leadership in a profit-driven world.
His educational background includes:

- Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in Leadership, Regent University

Dr. Wright's research focuses on the intersection of biblical exegesis and organizational theory, particularly in the areas of organizational ethics, trust, empowerment, and justice. His work explores how ancient biblical narratives inform contemporary leadership practices, with a special emphasis on cross-cultural contexts and ethical decision-making in business environments. This unique approach bridges theological insights with practical management applications through rigorous textual analysis and organizational behavior frameworks.
His publication record demonstrates a consistent trajectory in biblical leadership studies, evolving from exegetical analyses of specific passages (e.g., Acts 15, James 4-5) to broader applications in crisis management and cross-cultural leadership. The recurring themes across his work include trust-building, ethical treatment of followers, and empowerment models derived from scriptural accounts. His research increasingly connects ancient leadership paradigms with modern organizational challenges through interdisciplinary methodology combining religious studies and management science.
