Atz Lee has always considered himself the black sheep of the family. Two decades ago he left the subsistence life on the homestead in search of a bigger and better life in a modern dwelling. His grandfather Yule in his own time followed this path when he left for Europe at a young age. With his great passion for music, Atz Lee roamed the country with his guitar, playing music and making friends.
The day came when it finally dawned on him that the homestead where he had grown up was really the last frontier, he could relate more to it than to what he longed for in an urban world. So he retraced his steps back to his homestead, built a hut by hand and has not walked since.
Not much is known about his education and other things that affect his life. Atz Lee is all about the show that made him popular and people have often wondered if he has a life outside the reality TV show at all.

Atz keeps the lives of Etienne and Piper private and rarely shows them in reality TV series. According to his wife, the reason for this is that the children are too young and can’t cope with the negative trolls that the audience sometimes gives them and she has also revealed that her son Piper is not willing to appear on the reality show. But this will probably be the case in the future.
There were rumors of a divorce between Atz and Jane in early 2017, and the rumor sellers described Jane only as a ‘bed warmer’ for Atz. Such rumors are typical for the many negative trolls the celebrity family gets. However, Jane has raised this issue in a long Facebook post. She described her husband in a positive way and made it clear that although they have problems, it certainly doesn’t point to divorce.
