"Riley is a true professional, providing skills and insight well beyond his years! He's not just a gifted storyteller, creative videographer, and talented video editor who is persistent in his search for the perfect clip, but his easygoing personality makes him a wonderful director who can coax an interview from even the shyest of subjects. He brings great ideas to the table but is also eager to hear your thoughts, and he then combines it all with finesse to create a final product that not only reaches your goals, but easily exceeds them."
