Brad Wyche
Executive Director

     After working as an attorney in Greenville for nearly 20 years, Brad left the law practice in late 1998 to found Upstate Forever and has served as its Executive Director since that time. As an attorney, he concentrated in the environmental field and was recognized by his peers as one of "The Best Lawyers in America."

Brad has served as a member of the Governor's Council on Natural Resources and the Environment and the South Carolina Coastal Council. From 1999 to 2003, he was the Chairman of the South Carolina Board of Health and Environmental Control. Brad is the co-author of Guide to Environmental Law in South Carolina, published by the South Carolina Bar in 2006, as well as numerous articles in legal journals on environmental and natural resource protection issues. He currently serves on the Governor's Climate Change, Energy and Commerce Advisory Committee.

Brad was the recipient of the 1997 Environmental Awareness Award from the South Carolina General Assembly and the 2001 Southern Environmental Leadership Award from the Southern Environmental Law Center. He has been recognized as one of the "25 Most Influential Persons" in the Greenville community. In 2006, he received an honorary doctorate in humanities from Furman University for his work and accomplishments in the sustainable development and conservation fields.

Brad holds a bachelor's degree in geology and environmental studies from Princeton University and earned his law degree from the University of Virginia. He also has a master's degree in natural resource management from Yale University.
