Alum

Major:
Graduation year:	2008
Current location:	Seattle, WA
Hometown:	Oakland, CA

A quick learner and voracious student of the game, Charlie was the first member of Contra to fully integrate the teachings of Mike Geirrichs (sp?). Visualizing the plywood, including not only steps 1 and 3 but also the elusive step 2 into his backhands, he has been rumored to be working on the advanced "Peterson Cut" technique. Charlie is also something of a renaissance man - he revamped the Contra Webpage in less time than it took J.T. to change "Jeff Chai" to "George". If that comparison follows through to ultimate ability, he may even learn to lay out before his senior year. When he finally masters "Chicken Parm" and "Bamboo"...then Charlie will be a DANGEROUS addition to Contra.
