Brady Wallace Wells

Brady was born on May 3, 1965, in Elizabeth City, NC, to Ann and Dewey Wells, seven minutes before his twin brother, Jeff Wells.

He grew up on the Pasquotank River in Camden, NC, where he loved to fish, hunt and camp with his friends and brothers. He was both a counselor and tennis program director at Camp Seagull from 1983- -1985. Brady received his Eagle Scout in 1980 along with Jeff - they were the first twins to ever achieve Eagle Scout in the eight-county Albemarle scout district. Brady truly loved being outdoors enjoying God’s creation.

Brady attended Camden County High School and participated in many school sports such as football and basketball, but he was most notably recognized for his love and passion for tennis. Additionally, Brady won the state and national title for his dissertation “We Are Free Because…” to the AMVETS national contest in New Orleans.

After graduating as the valedictorian of his 1983 class, Brady went on to attend the University of North Carolina between 1983 -1987, where he was a Morehead Scholarship finalist. He then graduated from the UNC School of Law in 1990.

In 1991, Brady joined the law firm of Cranfill, Sumner & Hartzog and enjoyed practicing land condemnation and eminent domain law for numerous years. He was also a member of the litigation section of the North Carolina Bar Association.
