A 1990 journalism graduate of Oklahoma Christian University, he has reported from 45 states and nine countries in his seven years with the Chronicle.
"What an incredible blessing!" he says of the opportunity to report news that informs, inspires and unites members of Churches of Christ.

Before joining the Chronicle, he worked three years as a religion and enterprise writer for The Associated Press in Nashville and Dallas, nine years as a reporter and editor for The Oklahoman and three years as a staff writer for small daily and weekly newspapers.
Bobby and his wife, Tamie, the Chronicle's advertising director, are the proud parents of three brilliant children: Brady, 18; Keaton, 14; and Kendall, 12. The Rosses are members of the Edmond Church of Christ in Oklahoma.
