Communication. Leadership. Impact.

Darrick Lee:

Communications Leader

I help Public Affairs teams succeed.

I'm an active-duty Air Force senior officer (Colonel, O-6,) formerly representing the Secretary of the Air Force Office of Public Affairs as the Director of the Entertainment Liaison Office in Los Angeles. I led a team that serves as the Pentagon's eyes & ears in Hollywood, promoting the image of the U.S. Air Force & Space Force in film and television.


I've led teams to tackle media relations, internal communication and community relations for several years in multiple military assignments/locales.  Some of the more challenging jobs included serving as a Commander of an Audiovisual Squadron, and as a member of the USAF Thunderbirds aerobatic demonstration team (position #12.) I hold a Top-Secret federal government security clearance.

I’ll be hanging up the uniform soon and I’m excited about exploring what’s next!

What I bring

With years of experience leading teams in high-pressure environments, I enjoy helping others succeed. My toolkit not only includes formal degrees and training in Public Affairs and communications, but expertise developed through years of service as a military public affairs officer, helping organizations communicate in ways that resonate with diverse audiences.
