Trade Talks: Unlocking The Experience

The Rhythm of the Restoration Industry

Ed Cross on How Passion Led Him from Rock & Roll to Legal Advocacy

By Mike Balzano
May 16, 2024

In this episode of “TradeTalks: Unlocking The Experience”, R&R Publisher Mike Balzano talks with the “Restoration Lawyer” himself, Mr. Edward H. Cross! Ed started his career working on the shipping dock of his father’s construction company at age 14. He stashed all of that business knowledge for a later date while chasing his true passion, Rock and Roll. And unlike so many others, Ed did very well, eventually performing with acts like Autograph, Poison, Ratt, Quiet Riot, and many others before chasing his other passion, the law!
