WHO IS
FREDREL CROSS?

​​Meet Fredrel. Most know him as Fred.

Fred's journey of becoming an Author and Motivational Speaker was birthed out of a powerful testimony. ​Fred was a collegiate athlete with an opportunity to make it to the NFL. But in 2014 he was a victim of gun violence, ending his opportunity. The incident brought on a great deal of adversity for Fred. He suffered from PTSD, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Fred started seeking help to better his mental and spiritual health. After eventually overcoming it all, he started writing his first book Reaching For Better to help others overcome their struggles in life. And shortly after, Fred started receiving speaking opportunities to tell his story!

​

Fred's gift of inspiring others has allowed him to partner with many schools and organizations, turning his story of tragedy into triumph.

 

​Fred earned his Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice and Public Administration at Cumberland University and his Master's Degree in Business Administration at Capella University.​

 

Fred is a proud Husband, father, former collegiate athlete, author, motivational and keynote speaker, coach, and mentor! 

Fred has been on a journey ever since to inspire others that; Your circumstances don't define you, your choices do!
