Charles Clarke
Project Manager
If we could offer up a bit of advice, it would be to not try and keep up with Charles Clarke, New Castle’s Project Manager. Trust us on this. The guy’s favorite quote is, “Don’t put off for tomorrow what you can do today… that way you can do it twice… today and tomorrow”.
From his youthful passion for just about every sport, to his current keen focus on fitness; Charles is a firm believer in keeping active. To say he believes in perpetual motion as a defining characteristic is a major understatement.
An avid car enthusiast, who has been racing in some manner his entire life, Charles’ passion developed early on through slalom and autocross, and then transitioned into a full-on dedication to road racing, where he now serves as an instructor and coach for The Audi Driving Experience and The Porsche Experience.
With degrees in architecture from Howard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Charles touts a diverse background in real estate capital markets, finance, and development. His exceptional project management skills have been honed through various disciplines including urban planning, bond trading, CMBS structuring, credit and risk analysis, portfolio management, and development and construction management.
If you’re wondering how Charles slows down, he doesn’t. Even in his more relaxed endeavors he prefers somewhat frenetic plots, with his favorite book being Tom Wolfe’s, “A Man in Full”, and the Star Wars movies series.
But Charles’ may be learning to enjoy a more measured pace, acknowledging that he increasingly enjoys trading his race car for a good country-road cruise with his family up to a quiet cabin or campground.
He’s also adopted and fostered rescue dogs and has volunteered countless hours at local shelters to help care for, and find homes, for others; combining this community commitment with tutoring and mentoring under served youth, and coaching a myriad of sports activities.
Charles Clarke brings a fascinating background and brilliant skills to the New Castle team. Honestly, it’s possible he may project manage us to the next Olympics.
