After the birth of his sons, Lee wanted to spend more time with his wife, watching his sons grow up. He has used his bachelor's and two master's degrees to blend his career in entertainment with a new career in education. That blend was evident when he was the executive producer of The House Next Door 2, which was theatrically released by Lions Gate while serving as a high school principal. In addition, Lee is producing and co-hosting the talk show Ed Table. This platform serves as a conversational space for educators to share and collaborate. The show is produced by Leeway Creative Co and Anew Project.

Watching his two sons create havoc around the house during the COVID quarantine, Lee decided to put his talent as a storyteller to work by creating a children's book series chronicling the exploits of Liam and Landen. Papa Can Fix It! is the first book in the series.
