Ross grew up in a non-denominational church, and has taken this as an opportunity to be a blank slate as he learns about Christianity’s various traditions. He is graduating from Virginia Commonwealth University with a B.S. in Health Sciences, and, as a type one diabetic inspired by the physician-theologians, wants to be a nurse. When not reading his books, he remains enamored and inspired by Austin Texas’ independent filmmaking scene and his local D.I.Y. music scene in the Northern Virginia and Richmond areas.
