Chuck Aoki is regarded as one of the best wheelchair rugby players in the world and has played on the U.S. team in 3 Paralympic Games, even being named one of two flag bearers for Team USA at the Summer Paralympics last year.

Chuck was born with a rare genetic disorder and was advised by his doctor to regularly use a wheelchair from the age of 12. Just a few years later is when he discovered the sport and started playing at Courage Kenny, a Move United member organization in Minnesota. But Chuck doesn’t only excel in sport. He has completed a master’s degree in public policy and is currently working on his PhD in international relations.
