A record-breaking graduation event deserves a record-breaking keynote speaker, and the speaker on May 10 is the owner of the longest continuously operated auto dealership in 圣安东尼奥, 2019年将迎来100周年纪念. 马克·P. Cross is the co-owner and general manager of the Jordan Ford dealership. With 40-plus technicians and five robust businesses that consist of new car, 二手车, 部分, 服务及车身修理厂, Jordan Ford is among the top six oldest dealerships in Texas.

Cross believes in tradition, Cross believes in Ford and Cross believes in St. 菲利普的大学.

It was once reported that the rug in his Jordan Ford office was a rug that Henry Ford and Cross' great grandfather Thomas Tomajian stood on to shake hands when Henry Ford invited Tomajian to join Ford as a technician in Dearborn, Mi.在20世纪初. Cross has been a corporate leader with the iconic Jordan Ford firm for more than 30 percent of its 100-year service life.

Cross was on stage during the Cowboy Breakfast in January, celebrating 100 years of performance excellence at Jordan Ford by presenting a check to fund study in the hospitality professions at St. 菲利普的大学.

代表公司赞助商乔丹·福特, Cross once spoke to the importance of the college’s Scholarship Golf Tournament project and the central importance of higher education.
