At age 16, he was spending time in Islamorada on the deck as a mate between his schooling. He attended Cape Fear Community College and achieved a degree in Marine Technology and holds a 100 ton Master Captain’s License.

Riley was also the winning angler in the 62nd annual Big Rock blue marlin tournament, he then went into the private boat world where he competed professionally as a mate in billfish tournaments up and down the east coast.
