Originally from South Carolina, Ridge arrived at Laudisi in pursuit of a better job opportunity and to grow professionally. He is a passionate individual, always striving to keep on pushing and to go after his dreams, despite any opposition from others. He admires his mother most for giving him the drive to never give up: “You may give out, but never give up.”
When he isn’t working, Ridge loves to cook, learning different recipes and techniques, and traveling to the mountains for some peace and serenity. His favorite movie is Fried Green Tomatoes, and he says he cannot live without his trusty car.
