Perry was born on December 13th, 1950 in Waterloo, Iowa. Not a particularly good student, he was often in class drawing speaker designs or guitars or futuristic cars instead of paying attention to the class. This tended to frustrate teachers who often said: "He could be doing 'A' work if he would just apply himself." But, as with many creative men, the tedious repetition of school failed to stimulate his wild imagination. During the late 60's he made a reputation for himself building speaker cabinets for local musicians. He worked at local music stores during the 70's and worked at "The Mouse" (Walt Disney World) in the technical department. In 1980, Perry officially started WRIGHT SOUND SYSTEMS, serving the local area musicians, churches, schools and disc jockeys. Today, Perry designs and produces modern sound and audio procucts for professional use as well as the home. All designed for ergonomics and functionality. Perry's fascination with "Mid-Century Modern" design has influenced his home furnishings designs which are functional as well as "groovy" looking.
