Becca was born and raised in Chico, CA. She is the youngest of seven and only girl. They met at BYU in 2004 while living at University Villa, and got married in August 2005. 

Jonathan and Becca moved to Mapleton in 2018 shortly after having their fifth child. Jonathan took a job in Provo as a professor at Rocky Mountain University of Health professions. He worked there for six years and has worked for Intermountain Health since early 2024.

He has also tried flag football and is in enjoying it so far. Macy (7) is in second grade and she loves dancing (she is in two classes this year) and has just started gymnastics. She also loves playing with friends.

Jonathan is temporarily working in patient care as a physical therapist, but is looking for something more permanent in higher education or healthcare leadership. He loves BYU football, coaching, teaching, and staying active.

Becca works part-time as a communications manager for the Herbert Institute for Public Policy at UVU. She sings with Millennial Choirs and Orchestras, and she loves going on walks, dark chocolate, and audiobooks.

This last summer (2025), the Wright family went on a two-week adventure across the Midwest for a family reunion, tourism, and a Church history tour. While at Adam-Ondi-Ahman, Jonathan and the kids went to the rental van—a black Dodge Grand Caravan minivan—while Becca hit the restroom before getting back on the road. When Becca got out of the bathroom, she looked for her family and spotted the minivan. She made a quick beeline toward her family so they could head on their way. She heard a sharp honk, but she knew she wasn’t in anyone’s way, so she continue on toward her family in the minivan. She opened the passenger door and was immediately confused by the unrecognized backpack on the floor of the front seat. Then she heard, “Hello?” When she looked up, she saw a dad waiting for his wife—but it wasn’t Jonathan. She had opened the door of the wrong rental van. After an embarrassed flush and a rushed apology, she closed the door and found her family nearly passed out from hysterically laughing. When they saw her marching toward the wrong vehicle, Jonathan made a sharp honk, but Becca had ignored it completely, knowing it couldn't be for her. For the rest of the vacation, the whole family reminded Becca of where the car was and how to get back to it.

One of their favorite family traditions is that each year for the 12 days leading up to Christmas, the Wrights light a candle, turn off all the lights except for the Christmas tree, and crowd together in front of it to read a Christmas story together each night before bed. Let them know if you have a favorite family Christmas story. They always love adding to their collection.

Something that has contributed to their family building faith in Jesus Christ is “Scripture Power.” Every night, they sing a verse or two of the song “Scripture Power” to signal to the family that it’s time to read scriptures together. They do a brief Come, Follow Me lesson which sometimes leads to valuable gospel discussions. It also often leads to arguments (don’t get any false ideas about how our family operates), but the consistency of it—over time—has helped the kids know how important the gospel of Jesus Christ is to their family. They end Scripture Power with family prayer before putting younger children to bed.

If you see the Wright family, say hi and introduce yourselves!
