Gov. Dannel P. Malloy appointed Klee to his current position in January 2014.

Before that, Klee was an attorney with Wiggin and Dana in New Haven, where he specialized in appellate work and energy and environmental law.
From 2004 to 2005, he worked as a law clerk for the U.S. District Court in Connecticut and from 2005 to 2006 as a law clerk for the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals. He served as a research affiliate in the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies from 2006 to 2008.
Klee holds a doctorate from Yale’s School of Forestry and Environmental Studies in industrial ecology, a law degree from Yale, and an undergraduate degree from Princeton University in geology and environmental science.
The Y's Men of Westport/Weston is an organization of retired and semi-retired men with a continued interest in activity, fellowship, learning and community service.
