Brief description: Steve Wright enjoyed an eleven-year professional football career with the Cowboys, Colts, and Raiders. Driven by his entrepreneurial instincts, he created an innovative misting company, Cloudburst, that cooled professional athletes, the US military, NASA, and the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics. His motto to leave people, places, and things better than he found them led to his work on behalf of Globall Giving, providing gently used sports equipment to over a million children across thirty-five countries and counting. Forever a lover of adventure, Steve joined reality television for thirty-one days of starvation where he embraced the jungle of Nicaragua and emerged more passionate about life. His journey of continuous growth includes an unparalleled enthusiasm for physical and mental fitness, which he practices and shares with his community in Malibu, California.
