Riley grew up in Glenwood Springs, CO. After graduating high school in 2017 he attended
Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, BC where he earned a Bachelors of Environment
with a major in resource and environmental management, and minor in development and
sustainability. He was also a member of the men’s NCAA Div. 2 wrestling team while
at Simon Fraser. After graduating from SFU in 2022, he immediately transitioned to
coaching at his Alma matter for 3 seasons. Once his temporary work permit had expired
for the government of Canada, he decided to return back home to Colorado so he can
be closer to his family. Riley is determined to guide his student-athletes both on
and off the mat in their pursuit of growth and success. Riley lives with his partner
of 7 years, Ursula, and they have a 3 year old dog named Juniper.
