Lee has been a part of the Golden Isles Soccer Association for over 20 years.  He started as a player 22 years ago and has coached for the club the past ten years.  He attended college at Augusta State University where and was a member of the Jaguars soccer team. Since graduating from college, he coached high school soccer at Glynn Academy for the past nine years.  Recently, he has developed a speed, strength, and agility training program, which he has shared with many athletes across the southeast involved in various sports.  The program not only improves players abilities in their specific sport, but more importantly, vastly improves their overall athleticism.  The response to his program has been tremendous and results seen by GISA as well as regional soccer players has been impressive.  Lee and his wife Christy, (a group fitness instructor), live on St. Simons.  Both of Lee’s children, Saige and Gavin, are involved in soccer as well.
