He and his family moved to California in 2007 to allow his brother Riker to pursue a career as an entertainer.

Oh boy, what secret isn't there about Ross? He's totally an open book - he'll tell you everything! Well, let's see... even though he loves music more than anything in the world, he actually does enjoy doing school work. Education is really important to him. But one thing most people wouldn't know about Ross is that he's literally the sweetest person on earth! He does the sweetest things for us all the time. He has such a good vibe and is always smiling. Something really funny about him is that he has these adorable puppy-dog eyes that he'll try to use to his advantage. He'll say something like, "Can you please get me some water?" But I tell him no, it doesnt work on me! I know his tricks all too well!
I think I have some good secrets to spill! We're all a little crazy and have so much energy because we're constantly singing and having fun. But Ross is really friendly, confident and full of life. I'd describe him as a big, adorable puppy dog that you just love all the time because he's so sweet! Everybody loves the energy he gives off. That's what attracts people to him. But I have a really good secret about him. He doesn't like scary movies! He gets scared really easily, which is funny because Laura and I love them, and the boys don't. (Ross, I hope you're reading this right now!) Another funny fact is that he loves eating "Ice Breakers Sour Mints", and the entire cast is addicted now! We eat one after almost every take.
Ross said when he was younger, he and his family would go down to the basement and dance on a checker board and have fun.
