Built From This
CrossCo was not born in a boardroom, marketing department, or investment meeting
It was built from hardship Built from survival Built from loyalty Built from the simple belief that when life takes pieces away from you, you still have the power to build something meaningful with what remains
Founder Brian Crossett grew up in a family shaped by toughness, discipline, and service The son of a World War II Marine Raider, he learned early that character is not measured by what happens to you—it is measured by what you do next
Over the course of his life, Brian faced catastrophic injuries, major medical challenges, rehabilitation, loss, and the difficult task of rebuilding more than once Each challenge demanded adaptation Each setback required perseverance Each obstacle reinforced a lesson that would eventually become the foundation of CrossCo:
Forward is forward
No matter how slow
No matter how painful
No matter how many times life forces you to start over
-Forward is forward
LIFE IS MOVEMENT
CrossCo was never created around sympathy
It was created around resilience
Before there were products, there was a philosophy
Built From This
A belief that scars can become strength That adversity can create purpose That loyalty matters That hard work still matters That authentic stories are worth more than manufactured marketing
Every product, brand, and future venture under the CrossCo banner begins with that same foundation Whether it's premium barbecue rubs, dog nutrition, outdoor adventures, or future projects still waiting to be built, every idea is connected to real life, real people, and real experiences
At the heart of that story is Ollie, a specially selected Newfoundland service dog and future lifelong partner Ollie represents trust, companionship, independence, adventure, and the next chapter of a life that refuses to stand still Together, Brian and Ollie will travel Montana and beyond, sharing stories of resilience, recovery, loyalty, and the simple joy of continuing forward
CrossCo is not a corporation pretending to have a story
It is a story that became a company---
BUILT FROM HARDSHIP
Life took pieces away
BUILT FROM SURVIVAL
Giving up was never an option
BUILT FROM LOYALTY
Family. Friends. Dogs. The people who stay
BUILT FROM DETERMINATION
Keep moving
BUILT FROM EXPERIENCE
Lessons earned the hard way
BUILT FROM THIS
Everything that came before
Life Is Movement
MADE IN A HOME KITCHEN THAT IS NOT SUBJECT TO RETAIL FOOD ESTABLISHMENT REGULATIONS OR INSPECTIONS.
CROSSCO - Built From This

In 1977, founder Brian Crossett lost his left arm in an electrical accident.
Life moved forward anyway.
He got married, raised children, built a life, collected stories, scars, friendships, and memories — many of which are shared throughout this site.
In October of 2025, Brian lost his right leg after major medical complications. Once again, life changed overnight.
But CrossCo was never built around what was lost.
It was built around what comes next.
Now begins a new chapter alongside Ollie — a specially selected Newfoundland puppy who will grow into Brian’s future service dog, travel companion, and partner in the adventures ahead.
This website documents that journey as it happens:
the rebuilding, the training, the travel, the setbacks, the victories, and the simple joy of continuing forward.
From tiny acorns, mighty oaks grow.
Real Rub.
Real Flavor.
No Shortcuts. No Excuses.
We'll mail you you a real sample pack.
No gimmicks. Just damn good BBQ.
