Speaker. Veteran. Witness.
Lee has stood in front of audiences in law enforcement, military, and community settings and spoken from the same place he has always operated: experience rather than theory. He does not deliver motivational programming. He tells the truth about what he survived, what he chose, and what those choices cost and gave.
He regularly addresses schools and youth organizations, law enforcement and military groups, faith communities, domestic violence prevention and survivor advocacy organizations, and literary and civic events.
What Lee Speaks About
Each topic is drawn from lived experience and speaks directly to the costs and possibilities of the choices we make when no one is protecting us.
Childhood Trauma and Resilience
The core question this talk addresses is what a child does when the adults who are supposed to protect them are the source of the danger. Lee speaks about growing up in a home shaped by domestic violence as the eldest of five children, the weight that puts on the oldest child, the decisions it forces, and the internal life a child builds to survive it. The talk is not redemptive programming; it is an honest account of what that looks like from the inside.
Breaking the Cycle
Statistically, children who grow up in violent homes are at elevated risk of repeating those patterns. Lee addresses that fact directly: why the cycle perpetuates, what it takes to interrupt it, and what the interruption costs. This talk is grounded in his own decision, made as a boy, not to become what he had witnessed.
Forgiveness Without Excusing
One of the hardest things the memoir confronts is how Lee came to extend grace toward the people who hurt him, not as absolution and not as performance, but as a necessary act for his own survival and forward movement. This talk unpacks the difference between forgiveness and endorsement, and why that distinction matters.
Service, Leadership, and Accountability
Lee spent decades in the United States Air Force and continues to serve in law enforcement leadership as a Captain over a Criminal Investigations Division. This talk addresses what genuine service looks like, the obligation to show up for others when it costs something, and how the ethic of accountability applies from the household to the command level.
