Weather anchor career

In January 2005, Hull became a weather personality on Canada's The Weather Network, after completing the Meteorology Program from Mississippi State University and graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Radio and Television Arts from Ryerson University in Toronto.[1]

In April 2007, Ross became a temporary reporter for the Vancouver area, replacing Oga Nwobosi while she was on maternity leave.

Personal life

Ross is a "out" gay man.[2] He explains, "As for being "out," I think that's all a part of being comfortable with who you are and that ultimately helps you in all aspects of life. It's not always easy to get to that point though, which is why a supportive community always helps as well as knowing that others have taken that path (with success) before you."[2]
He has travelled across Russia, China, New Zealand, and India. He enjoys personal training, hiking, skiing, rock climbing, and fitness.
