God Was Present Before I Fully Recognized Him

I did not grow up consistently attending church. I went for a few years near the beginning of grade school, but church did not become part of my life again until military boot camp. During my early military years, my attendance and commitment were still off and on.

Looking back, however, I can see that God’s hand of protection was already upon my life. Through deployments, difficult decisions, and seasons when I was not fully committed to Christ, God kept me from dangers I could see—and many I probably never saw.

During a deployment to the United Arab Emirates, my faith became real. That season marked my salvation and baptism. A few years later, while stationed in Minot, North Dakota, I reached another turning point: I knew life had to be different.

I joined the choir—not because I was the greatest singer, but because I needed accountability, fellowship, and a reason to stay out of the clubs on Saturday night.

Bold Enough to Lead. Wise Enough to Listen.

Lee served eight years in the United States Marine Corps, completing that chapter as a Sergeant, E-5. He then served eighteen years in the United States Air Force, retiring as a Senior Master Sergeant, E-8.

The Marine Corps taught him boldness, direct communication, determination, and the responsibility of strong leadership. The Air Force strengthened his compassion, diplomacy, and understanding that every challenge does not require a hammer—sometimes effective leadership requires a softer touch.

For more than fifteen years, Lee conducted organizational assessments, evaluated workplace climates, developed leaders, and trained military organizations around the world to communicate, build trust, and accomplish their missions more effectively.
