Lee came to International Living after a 30-year career in the U.S. electric power industry in many diverse locations. After 12 years with Bechtel Power Corp., where he started as an electrician, Lee moved to Exelon Generation (the nation’s largest power generator), where he ultimately served as a director. Taking advantage of a post-merger early retirement offer, he left in 2001 at age 49 and moved to Cuenca, Ecuador, where he lives and works today.
He is currently working as our Latin America roving editor, spending about 50% of his time on the road this year. As a freelance, he also writes for EscapeArtist.com, as well as Hoy, a Spanish-language newspaper based in Quito, Ecuador.
