Mr. Ross was born and raised in Houston, Texas, and attended Stephen F. Austin State University. He graduated with honors in 2002, with a major in Political Science.

He attended Texas Wesleyan School of Law (now Texas A&M School of Law), and graduated in 2005.
During his time in the DFW area, Mr. Ross decided that this is where he wanted to begin a business and raise a family. After meeting in law school, he married his now wife, Susan S.
