Bohlin was born in Adelaide, South Australia, and served in the Australian Army. He moved to the Northern Territory in the 1990s, and joined the Northern Territory Police in 1998.[2]

Ross was not re-endorsed by his own party to stand in the 2012 Northern Territory general election.[3] This has been gossip within the CLP since May 2011, after he angered several of his colleagues by publicly supporting the distribution of condoms at a Darwin music festival.[4] Nonetheless, he was surprised when he lost his preselection. CLP Party President Sue Fraser-Adams, was quoted in a newspaper article that "politics doesn't suit him, it's a lot harder than it looks" [3] she went on to say that it was a safe seat for the party. Bohlin announced that he would run as an independent candidate in July.[5]
