About me
Ross Knox first aspired to be a cowboy as a little boy, when he watched his father work their ranch in central Oregon. At 16, he quit school and moved to Nevada to buckaroo, where he also began writing poetry to occupy his time alone. He has worked at both the Grand Canyon and Saguaro National Parks in Arizona, packing in supplies and tools for trail and fire crews. Ross has also led pack trips in Yosemite. He is currently living a cowboy’s “retirement,” training horses and working lots of cows. Known for reciting the classics, Ross also writes original poetry from his life experiences and has more than 100 poems committed to memory. He also collaborated on an album with musician Trinity Seely, The Horse in the Middle.
