Ridge has a passion for helping people succeed and growing their businesses. His family immigrated from China to the United States when he was a young boy. As he watched his tireless, entrepreneurial mother work in multiple businesses, ranging from running a small grocery store to managing multiple restaurants, Ridge knew he needed to help. His desire to help his family as a young boy has now turned into his passion. He now brings his 15-years of business development, financial and investment experiences to helping others like his family succeed. 

As Head of Business Development for an award-winning hotel firm, Cachet Hotel Group and an innovative hospitality investment company, InvestHospitality, he was responsible for overseeing operations, sourcing investments, negotiating transactions, and fundraising projects. Ridge loves creating deals where all parties can win.

Ridge also worked at Luxor Capital Group, a $5 billion hedge fund and at Ernst & Young, a top four accounting firm. From these experiences, he learned the importance of applying institutional processes and discipline to accomplishing tasks across multiple time frames.
Ridge has a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) from New York University Stern School of Business and graduated from Binghamton University with a B.S. in Finance and Information Systems. 

Today, he lives in New York City with his wife Sandy. In his free time, he enjoys mountaineering, running marathons and being a mentor to children through the Big Brother Big Sister foundation.
