Darryl Eason

Executive Program Director

Born and raised in a single-parent household in Detroit, MI. As a man of God and devoted husband to my kindred spirit wife, and faithful father of six children and two grandchildren, I cherish nurturing and cultivating children. I had the blessing of teaching youth and adults the bible for over 30 years.

I am extremely excited about working with Charles H. Harper Charities and further assisting youth in experiencing the University of Michigan and being exposed to a pathway they may have never known, but for this program. I experienced a similar program when I was at Southwestern High School – Detroit, MI. In my senior year, though a program, I was introduced to a multinational accounting firm, Author Andersen, LLP. I had never heard of Author Andersen nor was I familiar with accounting.

The initial exposure to Author Andersen through the high school program afforded me the incite to new possibilities that I had never dreamed. Charles Harper Charities is now blessing me with the opportunity to pay it forward.
