We asked Ross what he loves most about creating events. “It’s truly about bringing people together and creating friendships, memories, and sometimes even marriages,” Ross says. “People thank me all the time because they met their best friends at one of my events. We have also had at least six engagements and a wedding take place at our events. It’s the smiles and the community that make everything so amazing.”
