Author Bio

ET Ross grew up in the oil patch and spent most of their life trying to get away from it. After being exposed to higher learning in electrical engineering, Ross has developed a thirst for a wider view of the world. Years of working in the oil patch inspired Ross to write this book.

Ross understands that while some work in areas that are deemed evil, the people themselves are only doing what they can to survive. ET Ross still works in the oil patch and understands that although there is progress, outdated attitudes remain and leave many working in bad conditions.
