Biography
The story of Lee’s life and the story of the writing of his E-men bio are one and the same. Allow me to present them together so you can see the parallels. The first time that someone was told to write a bio for Lee, he promptly quit the team, abandoning the E-men and Lee’s bio forever. After spending years as a black mark on the otherwise mediocre E-men website, finally someone was found to fulfill destiny and finish Lee’s bio. Unfortunately, that person was also a MIT grad student, and so again Lee’s bio was neglected and left to sit unwanted on to-do-lists for months at a time. As a young child, Lee was abandoned by his birth parents and cast adrift into the world. He spent his infancy bouncing around orphanages, refugee camps, youth hostiles, and sesame street. It seemed like there was hope when a loving young couple adopted Lee but sadly one of them died and the other immediately started grad school at MIT, leading to years of neglect while his overachieving parent sought academic success. Fortunately for everyone, Lee managed to grow up as a cheerful and respectful child, who decided to pursue an education and a frisbee career at Tufts.

One of the unfortunate side effects of a life where he had to raise himself is that Lee can only do half of everything. In ultimate, this manifests itself in his inability to play any defense, preferring to just run around and pretend to be on offense. Once this was discovered, the Lee Bus was rode (driven?) to glory by the Tufts O-line many times over the years. Known off the field for his massive consumption and bringing of the ruckus, on the field Lee is a chilly handler and one of the most spirited and good-natured ultimate players you will ever meet (not just by Tufts’ standards). He also may be one of the few ultimate players out there who actually might know the rules. However, he would like you to know that he definitely, definitely, caught it first, and he will tell you twice.
