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. Still, some of his favorite moments have come from covering local high school and college sports and telling the stories of the talented athletes in central Kentucky.
When Lee K. isn't covering sports, he's doing what he loves most of all, being a husband to Kristen and dad to Meg and Kingston.
