Lee loves the transformation that happens when people from different cultural backgrounds come together to have fun, learn from each other and achieve a common goal. He is dedicated to fulfill the potential of adult English classes to improve our ability to talk to each other AND create cultural exchanges that build perspective, friendship, and unlock strengths of multicultural communities.

Lee co-founded Intercambio, an independent nonprofit, in 2001. Intercambio has created access for 5,000 volunteers to become great English teachers in Boulder County, which has opened doors for 10,000 adult immigrants from 60+ countries to take effective one-on-one and group English classes.

Intercambio’s unique curriculum and connection-focused model are used by 600 organizations nationwide. He trains educators and administrators around English acquisition, community engagement, and program sustainability. Lee authored the Immigrant Guide, a tool used by 250,000 immigrants to learn about laws, systems, and culture in the U.S.  Locally he facilitates cultural fluency trainings for schools, law enforcement and nonprofits, as well as fun multicultural dance exercise classes and big camping trips!

Lee received a BBA from the University of Michigan. He lives in Boulder with his wife Marcela and their sons Valentino and Mateo.
