Meet my Guest:
I am excited to talk to my good friend, Mary Jean Ridges. We met when our children started spending time together. They have similar interests and are both on the mountain biking team. Born in Idaho and raised Kaysville, she attended Davis High School, Weber State University, and the University of South Carolina where she obtained a Masters in Social work. She is the 4th of nine children and was raised by parents of opposite upbringing, one from New York and one from West Virginia. She and her husband are raising 4 children, 3 who live at home. She is a licensed clinical social worker at Wasatch Behavioral Health Mountain Peaks Clinic. She enjoys being a ride leader with NICA, riding with all 4 of her children on the local mountain bike team for the past six years. I love her desire to share her story and willingness to listen to other people’s stories.
“It’s what we do after we make those choices that makes the difference.”
