Ross Mitton is an electrical technician specialising in watering systems in Western Australia. He was born and raised in the hills of Perth in a rather feral fashion.
In the typical hillsfolk way, he was given the nickname of Possum.
In his late teens he was dragged into shoes and natty dress to become a barman. His employer insisted that he lose the nickname. A clever workmate combined the two names to Rossum.

The question is: WhyNotRossum?
