About Me

Riley was born in Cleveland, Ohio in the sunny month of June. He grew up always smiling and saying hello to everyone he met. In 2018, Riley graduated High School and moved to the big city of Chicago to pursue his BFA in Musical Theatre with a dance concentration at the Chicago College of Performing Arts. There he trained with Jane Lanier, Kestutis Nakas, Tammy Mader, and Ray Frewen. He performed in numerous plays and musicals and was certified in Stage Combat by Chuck Coyl. His senior year he broke out into the professional world playing Angelique and understudying Jean-Michel in La Cage Aux Folles at Music Theatre Works. 

Since graduation, he has been traveling the country performing in numerous regional houses. Some of his favorite credits include Cosmo Brown in Singin in the Rain, Eugene in Grease!, and dancing his butt off in the ensemble of Swing! The Musical.

He is currently signed with Six O'Clock Studios who helped him to achieve his dream of performing for Disney Cruise Line! Riley was aboard the Disney Dream traveling all over the Caribbean and Mediterranean in 2026!

Outside of theatre, you can find Riley at the beach, rollerblading along the Hudson River, or on a spontaneous adventure in the city!

His hopeless optimism has him dreaming of being in the ensemble on Broadway singing and dancing to his heart's content and smiling for all of the young actors who dream of doing the same.
