MORGAN WELLS
ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND
YACHT-INSURANCE AGENT
“I should have been
dead, like, 10 times.
When I was 16, I was in
a car that flipped. And I
was struck by lightning
in 1997—I was on the
bridge deck of a yacht.
I saw a flash, and I was
gone. Then there was
a sound of static and
my stepson, Ian, yelling,
‘Daddy’s dead!’ I came
flying back to the present. My eyes and ears
were hemorrhaging.
I had to have my ears
rebuilt. Now, when I look
at my face and my body,
all these wrinkles and
scars tell stories. I’ve
never been into doing
anything to make myself look better. I know
who I am. I’ve made
it this far, and that’s
pretty great.”
