Lee hails from Dallas, Texas. His love for graphic arts and motion pictures give him a great visual sense in the medium of film. As a film student at the University of Central Florida, he specialized in animation, which paved the way for him to be an animation intern on the Steven Spielberg series, SeaQuest DSV (1993) (TV), and the Art Director at Star Mountain, a computer animation company.Lee's gifts not only lie with graphics, but also with the written word. These two talents merged when he wrote an episode of the animated series, "The Tick" (1994). He also wrote and directed his thesis film, "Parental Advisory", which won a Crystal Reel Award. He has lent his talents to a number of motion pictures, from the independent thriller Jack-O (1995) to Born on the Fourth of July (1989) to RoboCop (1987). His other production work includes production design on "Ice Blue" and "A Twist in the Tale", assistant direction on "The Hunt for EPCOT Ed-Ventures", and producer and assistant camera on "On Art and Inspiration," winner of the Florida Film Festival's student documentary category.He has also earned acclaim from studios with a screenplay adaptation of H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds, as well as his original screenplays From the Ashes (2004), "Sinkhole", and "Batman: Darknight", all written in cooperation with Stephen Wise. Both "Sinkhole" and From the Ashes (2004) have won several screenwriting competitions, including the BlueCat National Screenwriting Competition and the Writer's Digest National Writing Competition, and they are currently in the running at three others. His other writing credits include some Orlando Predators commercials; the pilot episode of an animated children's series entitled "Remnant"; and a couple of episodes of the syndicated series "SciFi Wasabi". Presently, he is in the process of writing two new features - "Bookwurm" and "The Hollow" - as well as the pilot for a new, reality TV series.In addition to his creative abilities, Lee is heavily involved with his church and enjoys travel, cooking, reading, water-based sports, drawing, movies, theater, and gaming.
