Mr. Lee has been active in community and village affairs for over two decades, most recently as a Scarsdale Village Trustee for four years. During that time he served variously as Chair of the Board's Parks and Recreation, Law, and Land Use Committees, and as Deputy Mayor. In prior years, he coached boys and girls teams in soccer, softball, and baseball for many years and served on the Fox Meadow Athletic Association. Thereafter, he was active in his temple, Congregation Kol Ami, serving as co-President for three years and as a board member for 12 years. David grew up in Scarsdale, attending Greenacres School, the Middle School, and graduating from Scarsdale High School. He received his BA from Harvard College and JD from Columbia Law School and is a trusts and estates partner at the law firm of Stapper & Van Doren in Manhattan. His wife, Cathy Pohl, also grew up in Scarsdale, where they have lived for the past 25 years. Their two children, Rachel and Matthew, grew up in Fox Meadow and are SHS graduates.

The Scarsdale Bowl is administered by the Scarsdale Foundation which operates as a not-for-profit community foundation to promote the civic welfare. The Foundation provides need-based financial aid to Scarsdale High School graduates who are entering their sophomore, junior and senior years in college and to children attending the Recreation Department summer day camp. It also administers a number of special purpose funds and makes grants for various community needs, which have included the Scarsdale Volunteer Ambulance Corps and the Scarsdale/Edgemont Family Counseling Service.
