When Chuck was in middle school, gang violence began permeating the projects. For many, adolescence is one's search for acceptance. Like his head coach and many of his teammates, Chuck sought acceptance in organized sports such as baseball rather than acceptance in gangs or violent affiliations. Although Chuck escaped the vicious cycle of violence himself, it eventually caught up with him when his 19-year-old brother Malik was murdered in a drive-by shooting in 1998. Chuck knows all too well the feeling of fear that one has walking the streets of Detroit and he is committed to making certain that the same fear does not inhabit the minds of his fellow Torontonians.
