Biography

of Lee Fitzsimmons

Even when he was a very young boy, Lee excelled at the creative arts and was always producing new types of artistic concoctions that sought to push the edge of what was acceptable and allowable to society. Always a free spirit, Lee was never intimidated by the established authorities in any given field, because his unique gifts of empathic insight and his above average intellectual abilities allowed him to instantly detect many of the shortfalls present in today's modern civilization. He always knew when any type of given entity was being fraudulent or dishonest. He knew these things both instinctively and intuitively.

Caring not for the correct etiquette that was required by so many of the scientific and artistic fields of knowledge, he always possessed an uncanny ability to be able to sort out the wheat from the chaff and digest the necessary parts of various disciplines and disregard the frivolous or deceitful elements, so that his learning and subsequent absorption of knowledge from many of these realms could be accommodated in a more assured and sustained manner that involved a faster uptake of relevant data, while the detailed minutia that was irrelevant was easily identified and discarded.

Due to this exceptional ability to glean knowledge from multiple disciplines, Lee was able to combine many new types of philosophical and etymological conceptualizations. Viewing many of the rants and diatribes of the twentieth century artists and philosophers as mere intellectual gibberish containing little real substance, Lee has always sought out true knowledge that cuts directly into the soul and possesses a valid practicality that can be converted into empathy. It is this type of substantive material that was always desired. It is this type of substantive material that was often found.

Not only was the much of the philosophy of the twentieth century below par, so was the quality of the artistic realms. With few notable exceptions (such as Dahli, Gershwin, Stravinsky, and Debussy) most of the art of the twentieth century - especially anything created after the early 1900's - was laden with the stench of juvenile dilettantism, as many artists felt that they could easily bypass the traditional techniques within their fields that required hours upon hours of discipline and skip straight to the inspirational moment without having paid the proper dues necessary to produce something possessing true aesthetic worth.

Lee was all to aware of this horrendous phenomenon that permeated not only the fine arts, but also the commercial and modern cultural standards present within modern day society. Because of this travesty and the academic institutions that enforced it, Lee was destined to be a rogue intellectual that would continually seek out new and correct ways of pushing the boundaries of the aesthetic and scientific realms without resorting to the popular techniques that had no respect for proper beauty and truth and instead only sought out instant gratification of the lower primal natures inherent within humanity.

In order to accomplish this task, Lee not only became proficient on several instruments, but also learned the discipline of music theory and ear training at a very early age, so he could easily combine all of the creative sensibilities inherent in possessing all of these disciplines. First, Lee received instruction on the saxophone (tenor, baritone, and alto) in grade school and then received private piano and theory instruction outside of the school's musical department. Lee also taught himself guitar, bass, flute, clarinet, and drums while still in high school and began writing and recording with a multi-track recorder. Winning medal after medal in saxophone and vocal performance competitions, Lee especially excelled at the ear training and music theory competitions that required melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic dictation along with several other ear exercises and theory knowledge questions. Lee placed first in state competitions for music theory and ear training his junior and senior years in high school. He received a $5,000 scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music, where he tested out of over half a dozen semesters worth of musical theory and ear training courses.

Lee went on to earn a living professionally in music for many years, playing in several different house bands and touring on the road with many different groups, playing venues all over the country. He then went back to college and earned a degree in English. His GPA was 3.84. He graduated Magna Cum Laude and was a member of Gamma Beta Phi and Phi Theta Kappa. After pursuing graduate studies for a few semesters, he began his professional career as a freelance writer working for many different companies before teaming up with Wes Kussmaul (the man responsible for bringing the world the first online encyclopedia - The Kussmaul Encyclopedia) in order to promote the virtues of PKI technology.

Needless to say, he has accumulated more real-world experience and true knowledge of humanity in his short forty-four years on this planet than most people accumulate in multiple lifetimes. Due to his ever-youthful appearance, dimples, long beautiful naturally curly hair, and an extremely deep bass-baritone voice with a thick resonance, he attracts attention wherever he goes. Standing fully erect at six feet and three inches, Lee's stature is such that he instantly commands attention whenever he walks into a room. However, he is not concerned with his above average physical size or his above average mental abilities...

Lee is concerned with peace.

The only thing that matters now to humanity is peace. Peace in all of its numerous forms, from physical and mental well-being to the peace of nations, Lee is concerned with peace. From allowing a man to work for his family to allowing proper developments in the arts and sciences, Lee is concerned with peace. Sometimes showing himself for what he truly is and sometimes playing devil's advocate in order to let the enemies of peace display their weaknesses so they may be defeated, Lee is concerned with peace.

Not worried about the current political situations, Lee views this struggle for peace as a situation that will play out over the next several centuries. Therefore, he is most concerned with the types of knowledge that will aid in this long-term vision for humanity, so that one day...
