Joining Florida Atlantic University in 2006, Todd Raasch brought a multitude of coaching experiences to the program. With former head coaching experience and work with four top-25 programs and a National Championship team, Raasch adds several dimensions to the volleyball coaching staff.

"Todd brings a wealth of recruiting experience to our program, both nationally and internationally," says FAU head coach Jody Brown. "While his main focus is on recruiting, the court knowledge and teaching ability he gained as a head coach is a plus."

A native of Wisner, Nebraska, Raasch has spent 15 seasons as an assistant coach at various universities including his alma mater, Graceland College in Lamoni, Iowa. As an athlete at Graceland, Raasch helped lead two teams to runner-up finishes at Collegiate Club Nationals. In 1990 he acted as the team captain and was named a Collegiate Club First Team All-American. Raasch stepped into the role as the assistant coach for the Yellowjackets women's team and spent two seasons with them before receiving his bachelor's degree in physical education and health from Graceland in 1992.

He then moved on to the University of Nebraska at Kearney where he spent six seasons. The Antelopes advanced to the Sweet 16 in 1994 and the Elite 8 in 1996. Between those two seasons, Raasch worked the 1995 season with the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. That season, the Huskers won the National Championship by defeating Texas 3-1.

Raasch's last assistant coaching job led him to Metropolitan State College of Denver. During his five-year stay, the Roadrunners won three consecutive Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Championships while qualifying for the NCAA tournament four years in a row.

Just prior to coming to FAU, Raasch gained valuable head coaching experience at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, spending two seasons at the helm of the women's volleyball program.
