Following his undergraduate studies, he earned a Master of Science in Nursing with a specialization in family nursing from South University in Savannah, Georgia, in 2017. He is board-certified through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Board (AANPCB) and is a member of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). Before joining TPMG James River Pediatrics, Lee worked as a charge nurse in emergency departments and in outpatient renal dialysis clinics, where he gained valuable experience in providing patient-focused care. Working at James River Pediatrics, he finds the most enjoyment from his daily interaction with patients and their families.

Lee resides in the Hampton Roads area with his wife and children. In his spare time, he enjoys camping, fishing, traveling, and spending time with his family. He appreciates the rich culture and abundance of history in the area, particularly the Revolutionary and Civil War Eras, which led him to pick up the hobby of metal detecting for historical artifacts.
