Biography
Wheelwright has a bachelor's degree in mathematics from the University of Utah and an MBA and Ph.D. from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. In his academic career, he undertook research into complex business problems. Wheelwright and Robert H.

On May 12, 2015, it was announced that effective July 27, 2015, Wheelwright would be succeeded by John S. Tanner as the president of BYU-Hawaii.[4] In November 2015, he began a three-year term as president of the LDS Church's Boston Massachusetts Temple.[5]
