My name is Connor Lee. I was born on July 4, 1987 in Seattle, Washington at the Group Health Cooperative hospital on Capitol Hill. I went to Garfield High School in Seattle. I was the campus Kerry/Edwards campaign coordinator at Garfield in the 2004 U.S. Presidential Election, focusing on environmental protection and education. I played in the Garfield concert band and captained the Ultimate team my senior year, playing in the largest and oldest youth Ultimate league in the world, DiscNW. My best claim to varsity sports fame was as the alternate breaststroker for a medley relay that took the silver medal, only half a second behind first, in the 2005 4A Washington State High School Swimming Championships, although I also participated in the King County regional swimmeet on my own merits as a 100 yard breastroker. I was a staff member of Post 84, the student-run outdoor education program at Garfield.

I have spent the last decade of summers on Orcas Island at YMCA Camp Orkila in Washington and now work as a camp counselor there. I play alto saxophone, mostly jazz. I know more than most people about the Puget Sound lowland forest having pretty much grown up in the woods. I enjoy word play and am a huge fan of the Says You! word game show put out by National Public Radio and have had my work featured on it. I also enjoy the SCRABBLE® Brand Crossword Game immensely. If you are puzzled by my writing that so formal, it is because I am required to do so as a club director for the National Scrabble Association. I was the first, and I believe only, person under the age of 18 to become a director.

Did I mention that I enjoy clabbers? I would qualify as a word freak, but I don't have enough time to feed the addiction.

I am currently pursuing an environmental studies major at Oberlin College. I play for the Oberlin "Flying Horsecows" Ultimate Frisbee team. I'm a member of the Oberlin Student Co-operative Association and a "bread maker" (baker) for the Fairchild Dining Co-op. I am one of the founders of Oberlin S.C.R.A.B.B.L.E. and will be teaching a for-credit course on competitive play in Spring 2007. I work(ed) as a lifeguard, resident assistant, host to perspective students visiting Oberlin, NOAA science day camp counselor, residential summer camp counselor, and music tutor.
