After hitting rock bottom in his life, he emerged realizing it’s never too late to do the right thing. He used that low point as a platform to give back to the community in many ways but mostly by counseling athletes, students and anyone in crisis, Crossman explained.
Sammie graduated from FSU right before Crossman started as a freshman. “I became a huge fan who followed his career. When I had the privilege of meeting him 10 years ago at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes event, I knew that Sammie embodies the characteristics that I’ve always admired and advocated.”
Just one prime example of those characteristics is when a 2016 Alabama plane crash killed three Mississippi couples each leaving 3 to 5 children, Smith made it his priority to get to the children to offer his comfort and support.
Son of the late preacher and civil rights advocate Rev. Kenneth Crossman, John Crossman and his team at Crossman Career Builders have a sense of duty to bring to light role models like Smith for the benefit of young athletes, college students, young professionals and anyone struggling or at a negative crossroads in life.
