The world’s problems are our problems
HI, I’M DANIEL LEE.
Much of who I am has been shaped by the journeys throughout my childhood. From the depths of the Navajo reservation to the secluded island of Madagascar, I have formed connections with diverse communities and people since a young age. My experiences playing baseball on the endless deserts and bustling streets have opened my eyes to the strength of community and innocence.These chapters in my life have deepened my appreciation for the simple, yet powerful connections that unite us all. So this is me—shaped by the places I've been, the people I've met, and the games we've played together. Stay awhile, if you dare, and see my life for yourself.
NAVAJO & MAINE
I first stepped foot on Navajo soil when I was 5 years old. But little did I know that the land 2,000 miles away from home would be the setting for much of my childhood. In my annual visits to the Navajo Reservation in New Mexico, I was able to form close friendships that transcended the boundaries of culture and society. The late-night campfires, makeshift baseball games under the desert sun, and the nights under the constellations have molded me into the person I am today.When I first visited the Maliseet Tribe in Maine, I found myself in a completely different environment—one that was unlike the familiar deserts of New Mexico. In my two summers visiting the Maliseet, I was able to experience unique cultural traditions, exposing me to yet another way of life that expanded my understanding of community.
MADAGASCAR
At 8 years old, I traveled to Madagascar with my mother for a mission trip, an experience that would leave a lasting impact on me. While my mother taught voice lessons to college students, I spent the days in the town square, watching the vibrant bustle of daily life unfold. It wouldn’t be long before I was immersed in a circle of Malagasy children, tossing baolinas while explaining the rules of baseball. 
TROUBLE WITH THE CURVE
Baseball has been a constant thread woven through my life. From the first time I set foot on the hallowed ground of Fenway Park to the final time I’ll walk off the field, the game has given me far more than I could ever repay. It’s in the friendships I’ve built, the lasting memories etched into my mind, and the countless lessons learned both on and off the field.
USLEC & K- DRUM
My experience with the United States Law Enforcement Coalition is characterized by personal growth, encompassing both my social awareness and intellectual development. Through my involvement, I had the opportunity to meet with federal agents, intellectual property lawyers, law enforcement officers, and others, each leaving a lasting impression on my perception of the world around me. While law enforcement may not necessarily be my calling in life, my experience in this organization has enabled me to widen my scope of my community.
