He has also served as an athletics coach at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in the United States of America. His younger sister Jonah Ross has competed in athletics for North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. (runnersworld.com, 25 Jun 2021; SportsDeskOnline, 05 Jul 2021)

He began competing in athletics at age five. (runnersworld.com, 25 Jun 2021)

He was encouraged by his father, who was a competitive athlete. He also played American football and basketball, but decided to focus on athletics as he enjoyed it more. "Competing in track and field was just different. You have a team, but it's more individual, and I just felt like that's where I belong more than on the football field or the basketball court."

FATHER'S INSPIRATION
He credits his father Duane Ross, who competed at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, with inspiring him to follow in his footsteps by competing on the Olympic stage. "[My dad] didn't put any pressure on us [him and his sister Jonah]. He wanted us to do our own thing, find our own way, but we ended up following him regardless. Having the ability to actually follow in my dad's footsteps all the way - the Olympics is as high as it gets when you go out there to compete for your country, it's what everybody's end goal is. Being able to share something with him, and basically almost live the same life he did growing up, wanting to work so hard for it, it's a moment we'll probably never forget."
