He realizes this page is such a total rip-off of Ralph's, but he just had to make one. They're so cool. Plus, it gave him good Wikipedia formatting experience. Yes, he is a dork.

Early life
Ross was born in Lexington, Kentucky. He attended elementary school at the local Montessori school.

High School
Ross appeared in several school theater productions, including To Kill A Mockingbird, Check Please, The Good Doctor, and Grease.

Forensics
Ross's primary focus in his sophomore, junior, and senior years of high school was forensics competition. He was named State Champion in Declamation at the 2005 KESDA (Kentucky Educational Speech and Drama Association) Forum and State Champion in Radio Speaking at the 2006 KHSSL (Kentucky High School Speech League) Senior State Tournament.

In addition, Ross advanced to the national level of competition at the Catholic Forensic League and National Forensic League each year.

Over the span of his forensics career, Ross won 991 total speaking points, earning the NFL Degree of Superior Distinction.

Philosophy
Ross believes that a safe, sustainable form of economic and industrial development is possible, and he urges progressive, liberal law makers and politicians to step out of their self-selected middle ground and fight for their inherent morals, not more voters.

Ross believes in Logotherapy, not psychotherapy, as a healthy and constructive method of self-examination.
