His professional experience also includes public policy work related to eviction moratoriums during the COVID-19 pandemic, founding a real estate renovation company, investing in real estate, and earning a commercial captain’s license through the United States Coast Guard.

Outside of practicing law, Wells enjoys advising startup founders, investing, and studying the ideas of influential thinkers such as Benjamin Franklin and Charlie Munger. He is an avid reader, enjoys experimenting with regional barbecue techniques, and spends his free time hiking near the Potomac River with his wife or taking their bulldogs on long walks.
