Tim Lee is an American stand-up comedian living in southern California.
Born Timothy Xtreme Lee in Los Angeles, California in 1977. The middle name Xtreme came from his father who hoped his son would grow up to be a stunt man. Tim rejected that path and focused on the sciences for most of his life.
He studied ecology and evolution at UC San Diego where he graduated magna cum laude with honors in biology. He went on to complete his PhD at UC Davis. He spent years developing simulation and analytical models of population dynamics before becoming a comedian.[1]
Tim has become popular on YouTube with over 3 million views on his videos. His standard method of presentation is performing a "parody of a college science seminar"[2] complete with visual aides and a laptop.
