Riley was selected after an intense series of casting calls and interviews conducted with men from across the United States. Some of the candidates had previous pageant experience, while others were newcomers who showcased great potential. However, what set Riley apart—beyond his intelligence, fit physique, and charming personality—was his passion for community service and his history of volunteering with various organizations. This dedication, discipline, and commitment to making a difference embody the very ethos that the Mr. America Global Organization seeks in all its candidates.  

Since being named Mr. America Global 2024, Riley has been on an exciting and fast-paced journey. He has participated in high-profile photo shoots with renowned international photographer Fidel Berisha and has drawn interest from top modeling agencies. Currently, he is rigorously training and preparing for his upcoming international competition in Thailand.

Standing tall at 6’1”, Riley is a 28-year-old Data Engineer with a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Finance. Originally from Minnesota, he balances his professional life with a passion for cooking, often preparing meals for friends and family. A dedicated reader, he enjoys immersing himself in science fiction novels. Health and fitness are central to his lifestyle, and he takes pride in maintaining a nutritious diet, working out, and staying active within his community. Beyond his personal interests, Riley is deeply committed to giving back, volunteering with Trails of Purpose and the Keala Foundation—two organizations focused on mental health, a cause close to his heart.

For Riley, success is about more than just accolades; it is about personal growth, discipline, and the impact he makes on those around him. His journey is still unfolding, but he carries with him the wisdom of his favorite quote, a reminder that every great achievement begins with a single step.
