Israel C. Wright, CFE, AAMS

Israel C. Wright is a financial expert in an uncommon way.  Israel first began his financial career by opening a tax preparation/consulting business while he was still active duty Army with the 82nd Airborne Division.  His mission was to advise his clients on all things money because he felt that all financial concerns revolved around taxes.  So after he began his business in 1996, he earned his life/health/disability/auto/home insurance licenses in 1998 along with his mutual fund licenses (FINRA Series 6 and 63). 

In 1998, he also earned his real estate license.  He received his stockbroker and advisor licenses (FINRA Series 7 and 66) in 2000.  As an entrepreneur and financial advisor, he has personally sat down with over 4000 individuals.  "Biblical Principles to Prosperity" was published in 2003 and Israel leveraged his financial experience into scriptural principles to assist individuals to achieving their own definition of prosperity. 

Israel went back and completed his degree in finance and is currently looking forward to going to law school.  Israel often speaks to churches and non profit organizations.  He is also the founder of Strength and Honor Men's Group, an informal men's group dedicated to the empowering, mentoring and improvement of men.

Israel is committed to the prosperity principles and strives to fulfill the tenet of Learn, Grow, Teach. TM  As such, Israel is active in a number of organizations including the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners and Veterans of Foreign Wars.  In addition, he is a regular presenter for Greater Linden Development Corporation in its financial education department.  He is also the lead trainer for PNC Bank's Columbus area "Foundations for Money Management" class; a two hour class designed to educate low to mid level income individuals on the fundamentals to financial success.   A true testament of Israel's patience, he has for six years served as the lead teacher for preteens at his church. 

Israel enjoys reading, working on his home, gardening with his wife, camping and just about everything else having to do with the peace that nature brings.
