He was a two-time NCAA Men's Sabre Champion, a five-time national sabre champion, and was inducted into the US Fencing Association Hall of Fame.

1994

He began fencing in 1994 at the Peter Westbrook Foundation (PWF) in New York City, which he continued to represent throughout his competitive career along with the Fencers Club in Manhattan.

1999

Lee graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School in Brooklyn, in 1999.

He received a full athletic scholarship to St. John's University in Queens, New York.

2001

There, Lee won the NCAA individual sabre title in 2001 and 2002, and along with fellow future Olympian and longtime clubmate, friend, and sabre fencer Keeth Smart, helped lead the school to an NCAA national championship in 2001.

Lee was a member of the 2001 U.S. Junior World Sabre team.

He anchored the team to its first men's world title at the 2001 Junior World Championships in Gdańsk, Poland, and also became the first man of African American descent to win a world fencing championship.

He was awarded the USOC's Male Athlete of the Year Award for Fencing in 2001.

2003

He went on to win individual and team gold medals at the 2003 Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

2008

He worked as a police officer in the New York City Police Department from 2008 until 2022, and as the Women's Fencing Team Head Coach at Long Island University from 2019 until December 2023.

Lee was elected Chair of the board of directors of USA Fencing in September 2023.

He was suspended by USA Fencing on December 22, 2023, for his alleged conduct that would constitute a violation of the SafeSport Code.

Lee resigned when he was informed of his suspension.

His suspension was upheld by the U.S. Center for SafeSport (SafeSport) on January 4, 2024.

On January 16, 2024, SafeSport lifted his suspension, while it continued its investigation of Lee’s conduct.

He later lived in Cambria Heights, Queens, and Jamaica, Queens, in New York City.

After failing to qualify for the 2008 Olympic Team, Lee retired in 2008.

Prior to his retirement, in 2008 he won his fifth U.S. Senior Championship, a title he had also won in 2001, 2003, 2005, and 2006, but his poor results in international tournaments kept him from making the US Olympic Team.

Lee worked as a police officer in the New York City Police Department (NYPD) from July 2008 until February 2022.

He spent his first six years on the police force in the NYPD transit bureau, and his last seven years as a physical training instructor at the Police Academy.

2012

He placed 12th in the individual competition and 4th in the team competition.

To be successful in fencing, which he likened to physical chess, he said it was most important to be intelligent and "brutally aggressive."

He has been a competitive veteran fencer, and won two consecutive national titles in Vet-40 men’s saber.

Fekete said: "Ivan helped me with everything he could. He was always by my side."
