Born and Raised In West Virginia.
I was born and raised in Shinnston, West Virginia, the second eldest of Bob and Ann Riley's family. I had an amazing childhood, growing up in a small home in East Shinnston surrounded by my two brothers and two sisters. Throughout school, sports and extra-curricular activities were the life-blood of our home; and that's true to this day in each of our households. You'll rarely find a child, niece, nephew or even a neighbor playing in a game or performing with a group that doesn't have a gaggle of Riley family there cheering them on. As a high honors graduate of Lincoln High School, I went onto WVU and successfully majored in Engineering; a path that defined my career and a big part of my life.
After college, I married my high school sweetheart, Whitney, and together we have four fantastic children - and they are my WHY. My "why I work so hard", my "why I care so much" and my "why I serve."
We still live in the wonderful Shinnston Community - where Friday night lights are a big part of our lives, we wave at those we pass on the street and we remember how fun growing up in Almost Heaven really was. West Virginia isn't just a place to me, it's HOME - my home, your home and our lives. I'm standing on a promise to make sure your families can keep calling our home their home!

My Team.
For me, it's about serving my community, my family, & my HOME because All My Memories Gather Round Her.
My home team: Cade, McKinnley, wife Whitney, myself, Avery and Brenna.
20 years ago, my wife and I made the decision to to stay in our home state of West Virginia because it was important to us to raise our four children like we were raised; around family and with good West Virginia values. West Virginia is my lifelong home and I want your family and my family to have a choice, a choice to stay in the area we call home.
