The former head coach of the Reading High School basketball team had a successful run winning three PIAA 6A State Championships.
Now, the coach has set his sights on creating a successful environment for the club that helped raise him.
Perez is the new CEO of the Olivet Boys and Girls Club of Reading & Berks County.
He now works in the same buildings where he spent his childhood growing up in Reading.
The mission of the club is to serve as a recreational space for underprivileged youth.
As the new CEO, he is sharing his personal story of struggle with kids who are coming from a similar background, hoping to inspire the next generation of leaders in the community.
