Vilhjálmur Árni Sveinsson aka Lee Anderson, 31 years old passed away on the 10th of April, 2016. Beloved husband of Peleiake Anderson (Rice) since October 2011.

Lee was educated in Iceland with a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science, a master’s degree in Physiology, and multiple certifications post graduate. He worked as a strength coach in Iceland working with top competitive athletes, before coming to the United States. He was employed at Renaissance ClubSport in Aliso Viejo as an elite trainer and strength coach. His programs delivered a unique approach with a focus on improved neuromuscular stability and motor control.
