Why Me
Deeply rooted in this county for generations, my family hopes to see this community prosper far into the future. Currently, our farm—like many others in the area—is facing significant drainage issues that require urgent attention. My professional training in engineering and project management across various industries has prepared me to lead the Surveyor’s Office with a higher level of management and technical expertise.
Colt Ridenour | Candidate for Steuben County Surveyor
I am an Angola native and Purdue graduate with over 10 years of project management experience. My background includes overseeing everything from $5,000 process improvements to $15 million industrial plant upgrades.
After returning home in 2023, my wife and I are now farming with family and building our home here. I currently serve on the Purdue Extension Board and as their liaison to the County Plan Commission. With our first child arriving in June, I am committed to bringing my experience in leading projects and managing contractors to the Surveyor’s office.
