Steven C. Wright is a craftsman in every sense of the word.

A lifelong outdoorsman, coppersmith, builder, and father, he has spent his life shaping metal, wood, and stone with his hands--bringing beauty, form, and function to life from raw material. But nothing shaped him more than love and loss.
After the death of his beloved wife, Sandy, Steven turned to the Appalachian Trail--a dream they once shared--as a path toward healing. The 2,200-mile journey became more than a hike; it was a reckoning. With grief on his back, and silence at his side, he drug his past up and down each mountain until he could feel the ground again.


Steven writes not as a poet, but as a man who has lived. His story carries the weight of sorrow and the hard-earned grace of a life marked by devotion, endurance, and grit. He is a man who builds things--homes, copper works, and stories etched in sweat and soil.
From backwoods trails to mission sites across the globe, he's lived a life of showing up--offering his hands where words fall short, and leaving behind not monuments, but meaning.
