folio_DVD_cover01Ross wrote and produced an educational documentary about local Dana Point history for the Dana Point Historical Society called “Dana Point: My Home Town,” which is used in local classrooms and runs on the local government access cable channel. He worked with Adam J. Richman, a young film maker who grew up in Dana Point and is an award-winning recent graduate of the Chapman University Film and Television school. “Dana Point: My Home Town” was proudly created using local talent to tell some important elements of local history, including voice-overs by then-Mayor Wayne Rayfield.

Ross currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Dana Point Historical Society, for the Dana Point Earth/Ocean Society, and has launched a new Orange County nonprofit called OCGood.org, whose mission is to provide volunteer social web and technology expertise, training and support to local, struggling nonprofits.
