Lee was born on April 30, 1987, two months premature at Westchester Medical Center weighing in at 4LBS and 6OZ.  His Mother arrived at Westchester Medical Center by ambulance from Catskill Regional Medical Center at approximately midnight, as a high risk pregnancy.  Lee was born at 3:47AM.  Within that time frame, the umbilical cord became wrapped around his neck which cut off his oxygen supply thus causing his disability of Cerebral Palsy.

Lee resides in Sullivan County, New York where he works full-time as an Emergency Communications Specialist at The Center for Discovery.  Lee is an active volunteer and has held many different leadership positions with the American Red Cross Metro New York North Chapter since September 2001.  Further, he’s a New York State Certified First Responder and an active member of Jeffersonville Volunteer First Aid Corps.  Lee is certified by the National Association of Safety Professionals as a Specialist in Emergency Management (SEM) and is also a Heartsaver® Instructor for the American Heart Association.

In Lee's spare time, he enjoys photography, computer graphic and website design, spending time with friends and family and providing disability education and awareness to the general public. 

In a recent interview, Lee said, "Everyone has something . . . some people wear contacts or glasses, other people have things that we can't see from the outside.  It's my goal as someone who lives with a disability everyday to provide as much awareness and education as possible to those who don't understand what it's like to walk a day in my shoes."
