About
Born and raised in Minot, North Dakota, Riley knows fishing, fields of grain, public swimming pools, sandlot baseball, monster mosquitos, muggy summers and windy, cold winters. A stark contrast from where he lives today in Glendale AZ, but after 16 years, Riley has fully embraced state 48. With endless opportunities for anything and everything under the sun, Riley, his wife, and three kids never fail to find something new and exciting.
“My family and I have done a lot of exploring throughout Arizona, and there’s always more to see. Hiking, fishing, camping, sports…I could go on forever. There are exciting adventures around every corner!” – Riley
After 24 years in the upper midwest, Riley flew south in 2006 to pursue Master’s degrees in Sport/Exercise Psychology and Mental Health Counseling. It proved to be an amazing experience, and he cherished his opportunity to consult with coaches and student athletes. Coaching has always been an important part of Riley’s life. Camps of all kinds! Golf, Tennis, Basketball, Football, Soccer… take your pick. The personal collection of coach/counselor badges is fairly extensive.
His most recent badge, you ask? High school guidance counselor with Paradise Valley Unified School District for 10 rewarding years. Riley built relationships with students and their families from all across the Valley, and gained a solid understanding of Arizona’s cultural melting pot. Needless to say, Riley is in the business of building strong relationships.
His approach has always stayed the same. To be a coach; a counselor. With so much experience supporting his community, real estate is a natural fit for his next chapter in life. He supports and encourages his clients to make informed and confident decisions about their future. For many, the purchase or sale of a home is an emotional time, and Riley has the skills to make your experience rewarding and successful.
