Riley is a lighting designer and electrician from Allentown, Pennsylvania. He received his BFA in Theatre Design and Technology with a dual-emphasis in Lighting Design and Technical Direction from Penn State University in the Fall of 2023. His experience expands beyond lighting and technical direction, as he has also spent time working on audio projects.
 
      His primary focus is always working hard for the benefit of the show. Constantly wanting to find out how things work, he takes the time to learn specific skills so he can replicate them on his next project. Working through technical processes and creating things that enhance the ways an audience experiences a story is what he wants to do for the rest of his life. Above all else, he is a problem-solver. (Penn State professor, Curtis Craig, has repeatedly referred to him as a "professional geek.") Riley is always willing to give his hands to the next project and will always jump at the opportunity to learn something new.
