| Info | Wayne Anthony Ross was born 25 February 1943 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He is the third of four children. His father was an Alderman in West Allis and predicted in a letter that one day Wayne too would serve in public office.
Mr. Ross graduated from Marquette University High School in 1960. After attending the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for two years, he transferred to Marquette University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration in 1965, and a Doctor of Law (Juris Doctoris) Degree in 1968.
Wayne was married to Barbara L. Froelich of Elkhart, Indiana in 1968. They reside in Anchorage and have four children. Gregory, age 30, Brian, age 27, Timothy, age 24, and Amy Katherine, age 21, and three grandchildren.
Mr. Ross first came to Alaska in June 1967 between his junior and senior years of law school. He spent that summer serving as a law clerk for a local Anchorage attorney, and driving a sightseeing bus on weekends for American Sightseeing Company.
In 1968, after he and Barbara were married, they returned to Alaska and Ross served as an assistant Attorney General for the State of Alaska. In 1969 he was appointed by Superior Court Judge Harold J. Butcher to be Court Trustee and Standing Master for the Family Court. During the next four years, sitting as a judicial officer, Mr. Ross heard over 90% of all dependency, child in need of supervision, and delinquency cases arising in the Third Judicial District, and also enforced child support orders entered by the Superior Court. During Mr. Ross's tenure, a computerized system of collection was integrated, which has developed into the Child Support Enforcement Division that exists today.
In 1973, Mr. Ross left State service to enter the private practice of law. He was an associate of Edward J. Reasor and Associates in Anchorage, Alaska and a partner in law firms in Cordova, Alaska and Glennallen, Alaska. In 1977, Mr. Ross opened his own office in Anchorage, Ross & Associates, now the law office of Ross & Miner, P.C. Mr. Ross 's practice emphasizes family law, criminal defense, plaintiff's personal injury and business law. Some years ago, Mr. Ross obtained one of the highest settlements in a wrongful termination of employment case ever obtained in the United States.
