Cross Trail Outfitters Seminole Chapter is dedicated to guiding the next generation to Christ through the outdoors. Led by Ethan Rusk, the Seminole Chapter provides boys with year-round opportunities for hunting and fishing adventures, hands-on outdoor skills training, and Christ-centered mentorship. Through these experiences, young men grow in character, leadership, and faith, all while forming lifelong friendships and learning the value of stewardship and brotherhood. The Seminole Chapter is committed to preserving our outdoor heritage and equipping boys to become strong, Christ-centered leaders for their families and communities.
Ethan Rusk
Ethan had heard about CTO for a few years prior to becoming a part of it. In 2023, he felt called to go talk to Travis at church and see what he could do to help out! In 2025, after MANY outings and camps as a Guide, the opportunity was presented to become the Seminole County Outfitter. After praying about it and discussing it with his wife Jaxon of course, the roll was accepted and he was put into place January 2025!
He has lived in Seminole County since 2008. His childhood was crammed full of Hunting, Fishing and just about anything outdoors. Not much has changed besides the opportunity to use what he loves to share about Christ! Ethan and Jaxon got married in 2022 and are expecting there first child in June of 2025.
He and his wife share a love for shooting 3D archery courses and relaxing at the lake on their days off! Ethan enjoys just about anything archery related and chasing big gar and carp on his bowfishing boat is just one example of that! Ethan looks forward to working with his awesome team to grow Seminole County CTO and to share his knowledge of the outdoors and his love for Christ with the next generation!
