Born in the 1970s in Richmond, Virginia, Haden Riddick grew up in a family where creativity wasn’t a hobby - it was heritage. His great grandfather, George P. Riddick, grandfather, George P. Riddick, Jr., and father, Donald H. Riddick were all accomplished artists. Haden spent his childhood sketching, drawing, and building things by hand long before he ever thought about business.
For two decades, he thrived in corporate leadership, strategizing, building, and leading high-performing growth teams across the software industry. But eventually, the creative itch that defined his early years came back stronger than ever. What began as designing custom shoes for himself turned into something much bigger - a return to the family’s artistic roots and a new chapter defined by craftsmanship, curiosity, and courage.
Today, Haden’s life bridges two legacies: the structure that builds success and the creativity that gives it meaning.
