Wow, simply wow. To be named by the Calgary Herald in a city of 1.8 million people…as one of the most Compelling Calgarians is reaffirming of one’s commitment to community and humbling to acknowledge that kind people do notice the efforts of individuals. I recently received a Federal Medal for Exemplary service and have over 25 years completed in the Firefighting community. When you surround yourself with great leadership and individuals passionate about helping others, you are supported. None of my successes have come without the support of others. Thank you to all my friends and colleagues, whether you’ve supported my Keynoting, Music, Acting, Emcee’ing, Business or Firefighting….. thanks for building me. It takes a community to raise an artist…. and a Ross.
