How we got our name
Gold Ridge’s founder, Troy Wright, spends most of his time outdoors. He is either working on complex civil engineering projects or exploring nature with his family. A big part of his family, his dog Ridge, routinely accompanies him through the golden hills of the East Bay surrounding his home. It seemed only natural for Troy to combine his love for his home and his family with the passion he feels for his company. And so it became Gold Ridge Engineering.
