NAME: DEAN GROSFELD
POS: OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR/QUARTERBACKS

                Another former Falcon, Grosfeld is entering his 14th season at Cerritos College and is serving his third year as the Offensive Coordinator. Grosfeld was a former record-setting Falcon quarterback who has great knowledge of the game. He turned down a graduate assistant position at Utah State University after graduation to come home and work with the Falcon quarterbacks. He still holds the single-game record for most passing yards with 388 against Mt. San Antonio in 1991. His 25 pass completions against Palomar that same season are also still the second most ever in a Falcon game. Grosfeld earned his Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science with a minor in Health from Utah State University and the completed his Master's degree from Azusa Pacific University in Education and Physical Education.

                In six of the last seven seasons, all of the starters have earned scholarships, with Doug Baughman signing a free agent contract in the National Football League five years ago. Mike Harrison went on to Louisiana State University and graduated, while Glenn DeBerg played at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. Michael Keeling went on to play at  Eastern Illinois University, while Kevin Brown earned a scholarship to San Jose State University. Last year’s starter, Chad Manis, earned a scholarship to the University of Utah.

                Grosfeld, a local product from St. John Bosco High School, was a wide receiver that played in the CIF Championship game at Anaheim Stadium in his sophomore season. He moved to quarterback his junior season and was named his team's Captain, and even threw for 460 yards against Long Beach Poly. He earned All-Del Rey League honors while receiving his team's Coaches Award.

                After high school, Grosfeld came to Cerritos, where he set the school's single-season passing record at 1,917 yards (since broken). Playing on the 1991 Mission Conference Championship team, Grosfeld was named All-Mission Conference as well as earning the team's Captain Award and Offensive BYA of the Year Award. After Cerritos, Grosfeld earned a scholarship to Utah State University, where his team won the Big West Championship and won the Silver Bowl. Grosfeld says that he admires his mother for her courage and integrity.

                Grosfeld is a full-time instructor on campus, teaching Health and Physical Education classes. Grosfeld, 36, and his wife Kristy have two children, Chase Stephen (2½) and Shelbie Autumn, who turns one-year-old in November. Grosfeld and his family reside in Cypress.
