Tim Ridout - Board Member

Tim Ridout grew up in McKinleyville, CA where he was immersed in nature from a very young age: utilizing the vast forest behind his childhood home, the Mad River on the south side of town, and the Pacific Ocean on the north. As a student coming to Cal Poly in 1990, Tim later explored and surfed the Central Coast extensively until he graduated in 1993. It was in this time he concluded Cayucos was his eventual destination, but “when” became the question. In 2002, he purchased his Cayucos home and was a “weekend warrior” until moving his family to Cayucos full time in 2009.

Tim and his wife Christine had their wedding reception at the Cayucos Veterans Ha ll, their two children who both started their educational journey at Cayucos Elementary, and now their third golden retriever Crosby calls the beautiful beaches of Cayucos his daily playground (just like the preceding two.) “Cayucos is truly a gem. Our fam ily loves the town with its true ‘community’ feel, and we are constantly out enjoying the beauty of its naturally endowed landscape. I am honored to serve in the preservation of the Cayucos greenbelt for current and future generations.”

Tim graduated from Cal Poly with a degree in Business Administration, concentrating in Finance and Accounting and moved to the Bay Area. He became a CPA with Price Waterhouse, and then worked the next two plus decades in executive financial management and administrative posi tions for a variety of high - growth technology companies. And since 2016, he has been giving back to his alma mater Cal Poly by teaching Accounting. Tim looks forward to utilizing his business knowledge and financial expertise to help in the stewardship of the Cayucos Land Conservancy and its important mission.
