Not the boxer... or politician... or rodeo cowboy.
A Message from Mike
You know, it’s funny. Mike Lee is a pretty common name. Hell, there were two Mike Lee’s on my high school ice hockey team alone…. On IMDb.com, I’m the 19th Mike Lee listed. In fact, I toyed with the idea of taking up the stage name as they have it: “Mike Lee (XIX).” Mike Lee Xicks…. Yeah, maybe not….
When I was growing up, Mike Lee was a foreign correspondent for ABC News. Today, he’s a boxer, a Tea Party Senator from Utah, a bull rider, and much more. Me? I’m just one of another riding through life under the same moniker. But, I’ve done a few things so far that are highlighted on this site. I hope my contributions to the name are worthy.
Thank you for visiting mikelee.com. And, if you’re here looking for some information on those other Mike Lee’s, my apologies to you. But, look around. I hope it’ll be a pleasant yet unexpected visit.
Addendum:
So, not more than 24 hours after I wrote this little quip above… I had to go through a battery of questions about my own life to prove which ‘Mike Lee’ I was whilst undergoing a identity check for a new iPhone 4S account. No joke. I had half a mind to send them to this site. ‘See? I’m not only Mike Lee, I am mikelee.com, dammit….’
