due to his father switching airlines. After high school Lee went to a
small college called Castelton State College where he studied Mass
Media Communications. During and after college Lee worked as a
door-to-door salesman selling Electrolux vacuums. He picked up the art
of sales quickly and was even named as one of the top part time
salesmen in the nation! When he turned 25 he decided it was time for a
change and applied for Jetblue Airways as a flight attendant where he
still works till this day 20 years later. Jetblue gives Lee the ability
to travel the country and establish himself as a national actor.

Since then he has appeared in more than 20 independent films, several commercials and has had a successful career as a print model. One film by the name of "Millwood" even made it into the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. Recently Lee worked on a short film called "The Other Woman". Lee played a disturbed man who was cheating on his wife with a call girl. The movie was submitted and became a semi finalist for a Ridley Scott online film competition. Lee spent two years studying with one of Meisner's last disciples John Ruskin at the John Ruskin school in Santa Monica, Los Angeles. Lee also produced and starred in "Layover". A psychological thriller about a serial killer flight attendant. Currently Lee is developing "Dirtbags". A raunchy comedy about door to door vacuum salesmen in the 90's.
In his spare time Lee enjoys spending time with his beautiful 22 year old daughter. He is an expert skier, an avid mountain biker, and studies Muay Thai boxing when he has the time. He is also a world traveler and has visited Iceland, Sweden, and Tahiti to name a few.
