Lee K. was born at a very young age, and soon after developed a love for sports.
Since 2011, Lee K. has fulfilled his passion for reporting sports at WKYT. He has had the opportunity to cover a multitude of sporting events, including the NCAA Tournament, NBA and NFL draft, Kentucky Derby, Bowl games, and John Calipari's induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
