Patrick Lee has lived in central Arkansas all his life and is proud to call it home. Lee was born and raised in Little Rock where he graduated from Little Rock Central High in 2007. Lee studied sociology at Hendrix College in Conway where he developed a deep-seated desire to serve his community. During his studies at Hendrix, he served as a resident assistant in Hardin Hall and also volunteered at the Heifer Ranch in Perryville, working on the ropes course and teaching leadership seminars. Lee’s studies in sociology taught him about the hardships faced by working American families, and he decided then and there he would devote his career to helping people any way he could. Following his graduation from Hendrix College, Lee worked as an AmeriCorps member tutoring third graders in struggling Little Rock elementary schools in math and literacy.
