Ross was born and raised in the great state of New Jersey. As a child he had many interests, including Art, Nature, Science, Photography, Music and Athletics. He competed as a junior in several sports, but chose to pursue Diving in lieu of Golf, Tennis, and Swimming. He found success at an early age, winning the Junior Olympic National Championships in 2006, when he was 13 years old. At 18, he obtained honor of becoming the first diver in New Jersey history to win the high school state championships 4 consecutive years. His passion for Diving continued, and he accepted a scholarship to the University of Denver in 2011.

As a full-time student at a prestigous university, as well as a Division-I athlete and captain of a top team in the country, Ross learned many valuable lessons in time management, leadership, and accountability. After leading the Swimming and Diving team to a conference championship in 2015, Ross graduated from the University of Denver, receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree, with a major in Emergent Digital Practices, a program that blended art, culture, technology and media, with a double minor in Art and Business Administration.

With no clear direction after graduation, Ross decided to attend the Turing School of Software and Design in Denver, Colorado, a non-profit web development training program, which prides itself in turning great people into outstanding developers. Since completing the program in March of 2016, Ross has held many positions as a capable Front End Software Engineer. After 4 years working with his teammates at Twilio SendGrid building the world's most trusted communication platform, Ross has continued on to build the UI for the industry's foremost durable execution platform, temporal.io
