Lee grew up in Eugene, and graduated from North Eugene High School.  In 1974, Lee graduated from Stanford University, receiving his bachelor’s degree “With Distinction,” and was awarded membership in the Stanford Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, an academic honorary fraternity.

Over the years, Lee has been principally responsible for securities compliance in private offerings totaling several million dollars. Representative clients have included medical and dental practice management companies, consumer and commercial product designers and manufacturers, senior living facilities, and internet ecommerce companies, among others.
