Following college, Ridge obtained a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) from the National Strength & Conditioning Association (NSCA).

As a former Division I Wrestler at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL), Ridge was asked to cut a lot of weight going into his senior year. He cut from a lean 170 lbs. down to 141 lbs. Having struggled with weight cutting most of his wrestling career, Ridge sought out a more sustainable solution – The Dolce Diet.
