I had the pleasure of working along side Ross on VTA's Bart to Silicon Valley extension project and I have to say, Ross is the kind of guy you want on your team; quick to respond to incidents, does not hesitate to take ownership and responsibility, has an eye for detail and a brilliant problem solving mind set. In simple words, Ross gets the job done. I've learned a lot from Ross and look forward to working with him again.
