Ridge began playing the fiddle at the ripe old age of seven and fell in love immediately. He scoured the internet for fiddle tunes and videos, and he played for hours every day, teaching himself one tune after another, until he crossed paths with Joey McKenzie, who would become his fiddle teacher and mentor. Since those early days, his love, respect, and passion for fiddling and the music that goes along with it has only grown stronger. Now a seasoned musician, he can be found competing at fiddle contests, gigging with The Western Flyers, or working on his music at home.
