Lee was born in Northern CA but moved to San Diego California shortly afterwards. In the early nineties Lee started worked in a comic book store and in 1992 he graduate from Chula Vista High School. Shortly after graduation he was approached to manage and Co-Own a comic store just south of San Diego in Chula Vista. Lee accepted but after about a year Lee left the comic retail business and began work as a freelance artist. In 1994 Lee enlisted in the US Marine Corps and became a heavily armed government clerk and toured the world. When it was discovered that he could draw better than he could type, Lee was transferred to the Graphic Arts section at MCRD San Diego where he finished his enlistment.
In 1996, Lee met Dennis Greenhill and began to get interested in comics again, this time as an artist. After getting out of the Marines, Lee pursued art as a full time job and became a freelance web designer and illustrator. In 1998, Lee and Dennis formed BloodFire Studios and began work on the vampire comic Dark Tarot.
Currently, Lee lives in San Diego doing freelance work as a web designer, illustrator, concept artist, and game designer.
