Ross's journey in finance traces back to his upbringing in Los Angeles, where his passion for investing and music took root from an early age.

Upon graduating, Ross embarked on a successful career in financial planning and investment management, earning accolades such as the Archon and Million Dollar Branch Award from SunAmerica Securities. However, it was during the financial crisis of 2008 that Ross recognized the need for a more client-centric approach to financial services, leading to the founding of Gerber Kawasaki in 2010 alongside his business partner, Danilo Kawasaki.
