His last position was COO of a reinsurance company. As a consultant, he audited contracts, served as an expert witness, and was an arbitrator in insurance carrier disputes. Additionally, he was a founding member of a group attempting to launch a new reinsurance company in Bermuda.
Ross started writing as an outcome of analysis in the reinsurance industry, where he saw developing trends and chose to report them to his peers. He also wrote contract language for reinsurance treaties, which he designed, priced, and negotiated with reinsurers. Ross was chairman of the first actuarial study of damage from hurricanes, tornados, floods, and earthquakes in the USA and wrote and presented the results at a national convention. He wrote more than two dozen articles published in industry periodicals regarding trends within the industry, including two five-year retrospective reviews of the industry's performance. Ross launched a series of articles regarding measures of financial performance in the industry. Leadership at this stage motivated him to author a professional book published by John Wiley & Sons entitled "Reinsurance Fundamentals." He began to write fiction after retirement, progressing to several novels and short stories.ver menos
