When it comes to coaching, experience is everything. And few coaches have the depth and breadth of experience that Coach Cross brings to the table.

From his time coaching at Otterbein University to his stints in Ohio’s Mid-State League, and Indiana's MIC & WRC conferences, he's no stranger to the ins and outs of the game. But what sets Coach Cross apart is his unwavering dedication to professional development. Whether attending clinics at The Ohio State University or the Glazier Clinics in Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Cincinnati, Coach Cross is always looking for ways to improve his coaching methods and stay at the top of the game.

With a Bachelor's degrees in Sports Management & Business and a Master's in Business Administration, Coach Cross is uniquely positioned to strike the perfect balance between football knowledge, team culture, and program organization.
