As Charles entered law school…
He wanted to center his focus between his love for the community as well as his love for business. Charles has used his experience from working with entertainment law professionals to cultivate relationships that transcend the typical style of business. He worked at the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Clinic at Elon Law, which solidified his interest in business law. As a leadership fellow, he created a capstone project that centered on the school to prison pipeline, focusing on mentoring your students in the community and promoting young entrepreneurship.

Charles believes that working together can create partnerships that will change the framework of how businesses should operate. Since his time in law school, he still works in the community to prevent recidivism rates in juvenile delinquency in the Charlotte area.
Outside of talking about his passion for law, Charles enjoys working on music, traveling, photography, and any conversation that is centered around good food! His goal is to make sure that he leaves an impact on any and everyone he meets.
