Riley was born in Charters Towers and as a young lad, was well known for his abilities on the cricket field.
He always knew he wanted to be a builder and started on this path with a school-based apprenticeship. After completing his trade and getting good experience on the tools, he started Spot On Construction in 2017.
He and his wife Gemma, were married in 2021 and they are building a house of their own.
If he's not on the building site, he's probably fishing - chasing that elusive 100cm Barra.
