Zacharias Wright, Tinkerer

Raised on his family’s corn farm, Zach has a proven green thumb. But, his adventurous nature made it impossible for him to settle for life on the farm. So, while he still works the family farm during the summers, in the off season he travels from town to town selling manufactured goods. Thus far, his most lucrative product has been the automatic seeding device, which Zach claims will increase yields on any acreage.

Despite his success in sales, Mr. Wright still aspires to designing and manufacturing his own labor saving device. He has several patents issued in his name, but none have achieved the popularity that he desires. He is currently at work on a new gate design that will allow a farmer to automatically open and close a gate without leaving their buggy.
