About Me

Charles graduated from Hampton University where he played basketball for 4 years. He won a championship in the MEAC conference and went on to play in the NCAA tournament against Duke University. For the last few years, he has been playing professionally overseas in countries such as Uruguay, Denmark, Australia, Mexico, Mongolia, Argentina, and the most Recent Brazil. Charles was also was selected to play and participate in USA basketball/ Red Bull 3×3 tournament. In high school Charles was 2x select for the Hudson County all-state team and in college made All-MEAC defensive team.

Charles has a  passion for the game and an overall interesting journey throughout the years has brought him back to teaching the youth and sharing knowledge gained while doing so. Charles feels it is important that kids understand that basketball is bigger than a game it’s a key that can unlock countless doors and build many relationships and is also big in molding characters. He is looking forward to bringing his professional-level basketball skill set to STACK Basketball and share it with 1000s of our players.
