Tim Ridder has seen it all in the recruiting process. Aside from being named a USA Today All American in High School and playing his college football for Notre Dame, Tim was a college coach under both Urban Meyer at Utah and Gary Barnett at Colorado, and even spent time as a high school coach. Although Tim was picked up as an undrafted free agent with the Colts, his NFL stint was brief due to injury, which only strengthened his belief that a college degree is a must have for all student athletes. Tim has turned his education at Notre Dame, which came as a result of football, into a professional career as a Financial Adviser for Financial Partners Group in Indianapolis, IN. Tim is enthusiastic about educating families about the process with the wealth of knowledge he has gathered from his various roles associated with college recruiting.
