Young Lee (he/him) is a writer with CMT1A living in Cary, North Carolina. He graduated from NC State University in 2013 with degrees in economics and international studies. After working for a few years in finance, Lee decided to shift his attention toward writing and library work. Although Lee first learned he had CMT at a very young age, he didn’t participate much in the CMT community until 2018 when his friend and fellow writer Kevin Schaefer encouraged him to explore and learn more about this very important aspect of his life.
