Mr. Wright has a deep LOVE for all animals (dogs are his favorite). Most of his time is either spent on running his business or being a human rights activist, so he doesn't have much time for hobbies. He reads over fifty industry trade magazines each month. For news, he relies on reading the Atlanta Business Chronicle newspaper for business news, and he watches the BBC News to keep up with things going on in the rest of the world. Before becoming disabled from a rare myopathy (muscle disease), Gary enjoyed performing as the lead guitarist for Struggler™, swimming, hiking, and just being in and appreciating nature.

As he puts it, "Paganini created the first real "stage show", when he would play his ass of and at the end of the concert he would smash his violin in front of audiences. Back then, this really terrified people. I have always wanted to play his stuff on the electric guitar."In 1986, Gary Wright II founded a heavy metal band called Struggler™ and played on an east coast tour.
