Connor started young and on the job in Indiana with his father H. J. Ross, Builder. H. J, as he was called constructed every aspect of his projects and employed few if any sub-contractors. His father is also the founder of Ross Rigid Frames. The Ross Rigid frame is the marriage of structure and design, where the structure and effort are displayed as the aesthetic theme of the home. Ten years in the trenches with; a shovel, a hammer, or torch brings a wealth of understanding on construction issues from both sides of the table.

Connor is considered to be a “jack of all trades” but master of all. His interest often exceeds his free time exemplified by his 1955 Chevrolet restoration project currently entering its third year. He is a part time mechanic, woodworker, audio geek and struggling pianist.
