MEET BRIAN
I wanted to provide you a quick letter outlining a little about myself and some of my qualification and motivations to serve as a District Court Judge. Being an attorney is a second career for me but continues my calling to serve our country and to always work long and hard to excel in every job I do. My working career started when I was 16 in James B. Hunt Jr. High School Wilson NC as a Student Bus Driver. During high school I worked at the local theater as a projectionist and at the famous Parker’s Barbeque as a waiter. I knew that I wanted to have an education and wanted to serve our country so 6 months after graduating from High School in 1985, I enlisted in the Air Force to become a Communication Operator and Computer Programmer. The Air Force sent me to Seymour Johnson AFB as my first assignment and it was there when the first Gulf war occurred, I provided direct support to the 4th Tactical Fighter Wing in that conflict. After that conflict, I was assigned to Maxwell Air Force base as a system programmer/analyst and was the lead programmer for the transition of the Air Force to using the internet for base to base communications. During these first two assignments I completed my Bachelors degree though the night program at North Carolina Wesleyan College. After my degree was complete in 1994 I applied and was accepted to go to Air Force Officer Training School and was assigned to Randolph Air force Base as a System Analyst , I was the project manager over the software coding team of 20 programmers responsible for the transitioning of the assignment system to a modern database system.
Next, I requested to transition from a support job to a direct combat operational position as a C130 navigator. After training I was sent to Pope AFB in Fayetteville, NC in 1999. I deployed many times to Iraq spending over 3 years in IRAQ flying over 100 combat missions. I also spent a year in South Korea as the Airlift Liaison to the senior Army unit 2nd Infantry Division ensuring smooth airlift during exercises. My next assignment was to work as the liaison for the 18th Airborne Corp while maintaining my flying status as an instructor navigator. I deployed to IRAQ in support of General Petraeus and General Austin during the surge operations and received a Bronze Star for Leadership during combat operations. I was also a senior member of “Train60” mission that was awarded the 2005 Clarence Mackay Trophy presented by The National Aeronautic Association and maintained at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.
Due to wanting to stay in North Carolina and pursue my dream of being a lawyer, I decided to retire from the military and go to law school. I have always wanted to be a prosecutor and interned at the District Attorney’s office in my home county of Harnett during 1L summer. My 2L internship was with the NC State Bar to understand the process of prosecuting lawyers. My final internship 3L year was with the Durham County District Attorneys office. I was able to do over 20 trials and knew that I had found a new career serving JUSTICE.
Once I passed the Bar in 2013 I was hired by the Durham County District Attorney‘s office to work in a Guns and Gangs prosecutor’s position. I next moved to Fayetteville’s District Attorney’s office as the Domestic Violence Prosecutor. As a NC Prosecutor I have tried over 100 district court trials and 30 superior court jury trials including two 1st degree Murder jury trials and pleading several 2nd degree murders and 1st degree Kidnapping, Assault by Strangulations, and Drug Trafficking charges. My additional duties have included being the project manager for the Domestic Violence Prosecutor grant position. I am the Veterans Treatment Court Prosecutor.
I have been married for 22 years to Sharon and have 5 children Christopher , Chelsea, Kara, Benjamin, and Megan. Two graduated from Overhills High School located in Harnett County my youngest is a freshman attending Overhills High school. I am a Christian and want to help the families of my community by listening and applying the law to ensure fair Justice to all.
Sincerely,
Brian E. Lewis
