Born in Berwyn, Illinois, Wainwright graduated from J. Sterling Morton High School West.

Wainwright began his coaching career in 1971 as assistant coach at West Leyden High School in Northlake, Illinois in 1971. Three years later, Wainwright returned to Colorado to be head coach at Montrose High School in Montrose, Colorado. After earning Colorado District Coach of the Year in 1975, Wainwright returned to his native Illinois and became an assistant coach at East Leyden High School in Franklin Park, Illinois near Chicago. After four seasons at East Leyden, Wainwright became head coach at Highland Park High School in 1979.
