Speaker, Edutainer, Author bio
"As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same." - Marrianne Williamson
As a child in Suburban Chicago, Lee felt restricted from being who he really was. He always felt restrained or inhibited from revealing his inner light. While he was encouraged to consider his many talents by a few, he was frequently challenged, bullied and intimidated by others to hide or bury his various gifts and talents.
He survived and overcame ridicule, prejudice and various other urban temptations and social ills to develop an interest in music, acting, philosophy, sports and entertainment. Seeing and experiencing the effects of an unfocused life, Lee decided to purs...Expand for more
ue a college education. As a student, Lee began to see that there were others like him who wanted to better their situation, but remained fettered by social pressures, family traditions, low self-esteem and various fears. He witnessed countless numbers of talented people living below their potential but had no answers for himself or others. He began college as a developmental student, ultimately transferred and managed to complete his Bachelor¿s degree in spite of repeated course failures, family, personal and financial issues.
After college and a series of failed opportunities, jobs and relationships, Lee found himself in major debt with a trail of bad experiences behind him that cost him a career, a marriage and a loss of self-respect. His irresponsible and addictive behavior forced him to make wholesale changes in his life.
After hearing a message of encouragement and reading dozens of inspirational books, Lee slowly turned his life around and now motivates, educates and inspires hundreds of students and groups on various topics including: Leadership, Diversity, Goal-Setting, Student Life and Overcoming Obstacles. His speech entitled, ¿Don¿t Trip Unless You Fall Forward,¿ is his testimony and his signature message.
Lee has bounced back from his difficult past relocated to Dallas and now enjoys a career as an actor, voiceover, educator and singer. He recently relocated to Dallas (a true story of faith and renewal) and has begun working on his first book and audio series. He continues to create and develop educational/training materials with plans to write and co-produce motivational television and multi-media programming.
His presentations are energetic and stimulating. His wit, charm, insights and wisdom are expressed in a way that allows audiences to feel instantly connected. His goal is to ¿light their fire¿ and he always does.
Lee holds a Bachelor¿s Degree in Journalism and a Master¿s Degree in Humanities. He is currently earning an MBA and plans to pursue a PhD in Educational Leadership.
