David Lee Player Development Manager
Speaks English & French
Hello, my name is David Lee. I was born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario. I began my gaming career in 1999 as a part of Rideau Carleton’s opening team as a Cage & Credit Cashier. After having held progressive roles in both Slot Operations and Marketing, I found my true passion working in Player Development, by far the best career move I ever made. The most rewarding part of my job is the relationship building with Guests, many of whom I now consider lifelong friends. To be an advocate for our Guests and to create memorable experiences that truly ROCK has always been top of mind. And of course, being an Ottawa guy, I am all about the Senators, Redblacks, and Golden Palace Egg Rolls.
