About Nimex Technologies

Nimex Technologies, LLC. is a small research and development (R&D) business owned and operated by a father-son duo.


The current business model plots a path through the following topics for different forms of research and development in the future; in rough, chronological order:


  1. -General Consumer Products (currently here)

  2. -Aeronautics

  3. -Energy

  4. -Biomedical

  5. -Computing


NimTech (the shortened form of Nimex Technologies) is very heavily influenced by the bond of the father and the son. Their ways of doing things can sometimes clash, but what emerges is something better than either could do alone. These two bring a variety of expertise to the table. To truly understand the company, one must understand the past of the picture above.



Do It With Experience


The father, David Wright (pictured above; right) brings all the business expertise necessary to ensure the success of a company. After all, “a properly structured company is structured to succeed.”


After having spent more than 25 years at various companies, always quickly moving to management positions of various sorts, David Wright decided to venture out on his own in 2008, starting his own business. It quickly grew to multimillion dollar company, surpassing even his own dreams of how success was defined just a few years prior. He is still expanding, buying up companies involved in similar interests to his own.


He also uses this relatively newfound financial success, as well as his [now] nearly 30 years of experience, to help out his son with his own dreams.



Do It With Style


The son, Nathan Wright (pictured above; left) brings, believe it or not, more than a decade of experience to the table. His experience is based mostly in engineering applications, starting at a young age of 9 in developing his own ideas to create physical products. In the early stages of product design, his products were always “beat to the punch” by others. He has documented more than 7 products that have achieved market success by others that are extremely similar to products developed by himself. But he never became discouraged, having been cited saying a version of the same encouraging rhetoric after every discovery of having seen a current project appearing in stores: “Oh well. This just tells me my ideas are worth something. And what I wanted to do obviously worked!”


Training himself in a variety of fields throughout his preteen and teenage years was something of a hobby, and it became one of his favorite ways to spend time. The results of this training can be seen in his college classes. He is a senior at the University of Kentucky, studying Mechanical Engineering (Degree) and Aeronautical Engineering (Certificate). To date, he has never taken a single note, and is currently on the Dean’s List.


“I may only be half of Nimex Technolgies, but I put more than 200% of myself into everything I do. Screw giving 110%.”



Do It With Those You Love


This family began in 1991, with the birth of their son, Nathan.


David and Tammy Wright (pictured above; center) had been married for a few years before having a “punk like him” (David jokingly said). Nathan was born to parents that lived paycheck to paycheck. This family was off to a very rocky start financially. For around 9 years, they struggled, depending on company bonuses to help them through their bills, as well as frugal spending practices. David often brought his used sandwich baggies back from work in order to save money.


Higher management positions began to open up for David, and Tammy had used this 9 year period to finish out her college education and began teaching middle school students in English, eventually moving up to teach high school students. So, David and Tammy both began to increase their take-home pay, and it wasn’t until now that their savings account started to grow. This perfectly coincided with Nathan’s growing interest in the engineering sciences. As Nathan recounted:


“I used to love going around to libraries when they were cleaning out their stock. You could either get books for free or really cheap. I still have some of my old chemistry textbooks I got like this. Sure, they were outdated, but the information was still good.”


Having a kid like that was interesting to raise, considering the parents’ respective backgrounds, as David all too well admits:


“It took me a long time to get over the fact that he wanted nothing to do with sports. I was able to keep him in it during grade school, but after that, it was obvious it wasn’t for him. I was raised thinking that all boys needed to participate in sports, but looking back now, it was definitely the right decision to let him drop out of sports.”


Nathan continued to study, as well as draft his own invention ideas (drafting was one of the first disciplines he learned). Shortly thereafter, due to his parents’ growing savings account, they were able to provide him with some basic tools and supplies to begin building his own invention ideas. As his mom, Tammy, remembers:


“His eyes would light up when we would enter the hardware store. I don’t think it was because of what was in the hardware store, necessarily, but because of what he knew he could do with everything in there. He loved seeing his work on paper come alive into the physical world.”


Over the years, their unique family dynamic allowed them to break through the obstacles that would occasionally plague them, making them want to kill each other at times, but all the while knowing that no matter what, they’d kill for one another. This dynamic came into play when David began seriously playing with the idea of starting his own business in 2008. Having all three family members being as close as they were came in handy, as David needed all the support he could get in talking through this idea. Through much encouragement, he finally decided to take the plunge, and to his surprise, he wasn’t just successful, but very successful. Tammy and Nathan both insist they were never worried about the success of David’s business. Tammy says she “always listened to his instincts in the past, and this was no different.”


After a few years of this success, Nathan came to David with a proposition. A crazy idea and a proposition. While Nathan will only refer to this crazy idea as his “main project” because he’s still “working on it and won’t reveal what it is until [then]”, the proposition was simple, and in Nathan’s words to his father: “Invest in me, and I’ll be your 401K.”



Do It Wright


After a long meeting and a presentation, David agreed that the time was right for Nathan to have his own business, and because of this, agreed to invest whatever capital was necessary to “get him started off right”. David is still active in the company, playing the role of “über-business sage”, as Nathan phrases it, able to answer any questions and offer invaluable business advice.


At 21, Nathan set out to prove that he could handle the stresses of owning his own business, as well as prove to himself that his ideas “really are worth something.”


Nathan states candidly, “I have ALWAYS wanted my own patent since I was nine years old, and while it technically hasn’t been reviewed by the USPTO yet, I still consider what I’ve done so far as a success. Seeing the final version of the patent draft with my name across the front page almost made me cry at one point. And I’m not a crier!”


David, Tammy, and Nathan Wright are all involved in some capacity with the company (Nimex Technologies), as well as David’s various companies. And being able to work together as a family just strengthens their family dynamic even further, tempering it in the fire of trust and success. They all say they hope for continued success for one another for years to come, but that no matter what they still have one another. Nathan takes it a step further:


“I love my parents. All they’ve done in my lifetime has been for me, and I am extremely thankful. And you know, we could all go broke tomorrow, and that would be okay, because we would still have each other. Now, that being said, I MOST DEFINITELY prefer not being broke. A bit of money makes life more fun,” he says with a grin, a wink, and a laugh. “But it wouldn’t discourage me a bit if we did hit rock bottom. We’d just get the opportunity to build back up, together.”
