Founders, Ron & Catherine Tijerina

TYRO Leadership is a nationally known and award-winning curriculum designed to equip participants with the skills necessary to achieve their highest potential. This intensive character development program teaches participants to own responsibility for their actions, and prepares them to live a life of honor and integrity. Upon successful completion, participants have a significant increase in emotional intelligence and reported a marked improvement in how they view themselves and their relationships.

TYRO means A novice, an apprentice, someone learning something new, a warrior or founding member.Though a TYRO Dad continues to learn new skills and gain experience across his life, a TYRO is a person willing to live by their convictions, fight for their family to be healthy and whole, and to lead with truth, respect, and honor.

Thomas Abele - TYRO & CDL Training

Glad I took the initiative to take the program while at Ri.C.I opened my mind. I am a man of integrity and worth following… I am a TYRO!!!!.

Matthew Davis - Couple Communication Participant

Was with The Ridge Project on 3/5 an 3/6 for the Couple Communication Seminar. My wife Lesa and I had a great time and is working on better communication. Thanks Ron and Catherine.

Jerry Baker - TYRO Dad

I will like to truly thank the ridge project for allowing God to use your program to help keep men bonded with their families during incarceration. It surely done a great deal for me and my children.

Christopher Bradford - TYRO Dad

The ridge has done wonderful things for me. It has kept me focused out of trouble and into a job I stay working. If I have a problem I can get in contact with one of the brothers and they can help me in whatever situation that i may be in or give me informational advice. So if you’re not part, I suggest that you become a full-fledged member of the RIDGE Project..
