Biography
Lence was born in Whitefish, Montana, on December 19, 1943.

Ross graduated from Whitefish High School with a 4.0 GPA and was valedictorian of his class. After completing his bachelor's degree at the University of Chicago, in 1966 Ross studied at Georgetown University, then at Indiana University under Charles S. Hyneman, who took Ross on a 15,000-mile, 5-year trip across America to give Ross first-hand experience of the country.
He graduated from Indiana University Bloomington in 1970 with a Ph.D. In 1970, Ross researched at The British Museum.
He began teaching at the University of Houston in 1971, where he also served as director of undergraduate studies in the department of political science for 23 years.
