He also recognized the critical role technology plays in security and entertainment, leading Safe n Sound to expand its services to include network, Wi-Fi, and automation systems. 

Lee’s passion for technology extends beyond security. With a deep love for music, he fueled his entrepreneurial spirit by starting Event Promotions in 2000. Over 18 years, he promoted hundreds of events across North Island, further cementing his connections within the community. He even spent a decade as a radio host, adding another layer to his communication and people skills. 

When he’s not leading the charge at Safe n Sound, you can find Lee enjoying the outdoors with his wife and two energetic boys. They’re a family that thrives on adventure, whether it’s camping trips, exploring new activities, or taking long bike rides. Lee also cherishes his close network of friends and still finds time to dust off his DJ skills for the occasional event.
