Tyson Lee [email protected]

Tyson Lee’s life began in Mississippi, born into a biracial family where his mother and father were never married. This complex family dynamic presented numerous challenges, as Tyson navigated a world marked by the struggles of a divided home life. Economic instability made it difficult, so he, his mother, and two siblings moved in with his grandmother before middle school. Tyson experienced hardship outside of the home when another man refused to let him date his daughter because of Tyson’s father. This rejection opened Tyson’s eyes in new ways. These early experiences of loss, compounded by seeing his mother sacrifice and work so hard to make ends meet and meeting a half-sister in his early twenties, pushed Tyson to chart a course for a different, more hopeful future. It also paved the way for understanding the importance of compassion for others in a broken and unpredictable world.

Tysons resilience extended beyond his personal life and into his athletic pursuits. Despite his talent and work ethic, he was overlooked by college recruiters as a quarterback due to his height. Undeterred, Tyson received a full-ride scholarship to Itawamba Community College to play football and played for two seasons before choosing to walk on to the football team at Mississippi State University, where he earned his place as the starting quarterback. His journey on the football field was emblematic of his broader life experience: overcoming adversity and defying expectations through faith, determination, strategy, and the help of others. Throughout his life, Tyson has achieved remarkable academic, athletic, and professional success, including being the first ever player to be named a First Team JUCO All-American and an Academic All-American at Itawamba Community College (ICC), Region 23 Player of the Year, and an inductee into the Athletic Hall of Fame at ICC. As a

team captain at Mississippi State University, he demonstrated leadership both on and off the field. He and his

lovely wife started a cinnamon roll business which began in their house called LoveLee Rolls and they built a commercial kitchen in their backyard, moved their product into 2 states and over 25 grocery stores, and learned much about one another through late nights, early mornings and many farmers markets. Tyson has been in education for the last five years and he currently serves as the Head of Lower School at Veritas School in Richmond, VA.

Yet, above all these achievements, Tyson values his role as a devoted husband and father of four. He attributes his journey and successes to the grace of God, underscoring the faith that has guided him through life's challenges and triumphs. His life speaks to the transformative power of the love of Jesus Christ, relationships, noble pursuits, and asking questions.

He seeks to instill this same hope in the lives of others!
