| Lee's
first full-time radio job came when he was hired as the evening
disc jockey at a pair of combo radio stations in Phoenix, Arizona.
He neglected to tell his employers that he was also a fourteen year
old high school sophomore. Shortly after his high school graduation,
he was hired as the all night DJ at KOY in Phoenix.
Things soon started to happen quickly as Lee's career took him to some of the most respected stations in radio history, beginning with his morning show at KRIZ. With Lee handling the mornings KRIZ was named Billboard Magazine's Major Market Station of the Year. Lee describes the rest of his career as a "Radio Thrill-Ride". He was doing nights at KCBQ in San Diego when that station literally redefined Top-40 Radio. Then it was onto RKO. Lee's "Boss Radio" credits include legendary stations such as KHJ in Los Angeles, CKLW in Detroit and WOR-FM in New York. He returned to his hometown of Los Angeles to be teamed with his radio hero, Wolfman Jack on KDAY, and he then returned to KHJ to team with Rick Dees. Lee reinvented himself into a talk radio celebrity and joined the nation's most respected talk station KABC in Los Angeles. He then performed on and helped to develop the ABC Talk Radio Network. Lee opened his own production company where he created more than a dozen syndicated music and information shows. He hosted five of those shows. After trying to semi-retire, Lee was asked by Cumulus Broadcasting, which is the second largest broadcasting company in the U-S, to create and launch a new format. Lee created a vintage 50's & 60's format called "The Boomer" and his Southern California flagship station was recently honored as one of the nation's top-five Oldies stations by the National Association of Broadcasters.
