Lee is a Wilson, NC native and a graduate of East Carolina University in Greenville. He pursued his dream in real estate right out of school and has always felt like it was his passion. Building a portfolio of residential rental properties in the Wilson market, Lee purchased a self-storage facility and operated that business for 10 years before selling to an Ohio-based self-storage firm.

While developing the storage business, Lee took over a Wilson-based real estate firm and served as broker in charge and qualifying broker for several years. This firm had over 50 years of combined agent experience with a solid reputation in representing customers in the Wilson market. After leaving Wilson for Wilmington, NC he soon opened and expanded real estate services to the Wilmington market. Real Estate sales & property management continue to be the bread and butter as managing a firm on one of the most desirable locations in the country has been a dream for Lee. Carolina One has surpassed $65 million in sales for each of the last 3 years. He can help residential and commercial buyers as well as list properties in the greater Wilmington area. He is a husband, father of two, and an Ironman Triathlete. 

Teaching is also a passion for Lee. He serves as the Director of Education for a local real estate school he purchased in 2014. He looks forward to connecting with students and helping them reach their full real estate potential in Pre-Licensing, Post-Licensing, or CE classes with Southern Choice Real Estate Academy based out of Wilmington, NC.
