Meet Lee Sanders, YPB Member

Lee Sanders, YPB Member

Lee's heart is purple for his best friend's father, who lost his battle to pancreatic cancer when they were teenagers.  "He had a larger than life personality and to see someone with his strength and energy fall ill was a testament to how terrible the desiese is. His battle has been the catalyst that has driven me to join the YPB."

Now, for some fun facts about Lee...

His sports team is The Indiana Hoosiers.

When asked about an interesting hobby or passion, Lee replied, "I love domestic travel. I'm all about the three day weekend trips to a new city."

Lee's  favorite restaurant in Chicago is Twin Anchors. "Their ribs are unparalleled. I make sure to go on my birthday every year."

Growing up, Lee wanted to be a mailman. "Not kidding....good exercise, delivering birthday cards, whistling a good tune. Seemed like a fun time."

In the summer, Lee's favorite activity is going to the Diversey Driving Range at dusk. "It's a little cooler by the lake and very calming to hit a bucket of balls. Plus it makes me think I'm better at golf than I really am."

Lee is a Chicago native and currently lives in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood.  He graduated with a B.A. in Communications and Business from Indiana University  and now works as an Account Executive at Mintel.
