"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." ~ Maya Angelou




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 now resides in Sullivan County, New York - the Town of Bethel where he works full time at The Center for Discovery as a Communications Specialist in the Office of Information Technology.  Lee has been an active volunteer with the American Red Cross in Greater New York Since September 2001 and an active member of Jeffersonville Volunteer First Aid Corps as a NYS Certified First Responder since June 2005.  Recently, Lee obtained his certification as a Specialist in Emergency Management (SEM) and is a member of the National Association of Safety Professionals.

In Lee's spare time, he enjoys photography, computer graphic, website design [website], 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."
