He is best known in the United States for his college career at Old Dominion University in which he was named the Colonial Athletic Association Men's Basketball Player of the Year as a senior in 1994–95.
He scored 1,985 points (the fourth most in school history at the time), grabbed 779 rebounds and shot 81.9% from the free throw line.
In the first round of that year's NCAA Tournament, Sessoms scored 35 points in a triple-overtime win versus #3 seed and Big East champion Villanova.
After his lauded college career, Sessoms did not get any interest from NBA teams, so he went to Europe to play professional basketball.
In 2004, he retired from basketball and began working for the United States Postal Service in North Hollywood, California.
