Patrick Lee is a professional speaker, actor and writer. Since 1990, he has inspired, entertained and educated audiences from Boston to Honolulu with his authentic, first person presentations as Thomas Jefferson, Daniel Boone, and William Clark, of Lewis and Clark fame. He also appears as himself, The Hopeful Humorist®, with a program of motivational humor, patriotism and inspiration.

As a writer, he authored a series of 21 articles about the Lewis and Clark Expedition. They were published quarterly from 2001 to 2006 by both the Missouri Society of Professional Surveyors and the Wisconsin Society of Land Surveyors. Those articles have been expanded and incorporated into a book, Mosquitoes, Gnats & Prickly Pear Cactus: The Lewis & Clark Review.

Academically, Lee holds a Bachelor of Science degree in History Education from the University of Missouri, earned way too many years ago.

Home is a farmhouse on 30 acres in central Missouri, shared with his wife of 34 years, the memories of four adult daughters who have moved on, two foster sons, a strictly outdoor cat named Tipper, and a deaf, mostly Labrador named Bingo (or Bing or Ding or Dingo or Dingo Dog. Take your pick or supply one of your own. Since she's deaf, she answers equally well to all names.)
