Ross was best known for his passion for legal technology and how he could incorporate that into the many CLE programs he presented. Presenting programs all across the United States, Ross had an impact on lawyers that cannot be rivaled. He was a regular speaker at ABA TECHSHOW and served as a member of the ABA TECHSHOW Executive Planning Board from 1998-2000.
