Physical Description: Riley stands about 5'8" and carries a relatively lean build. He has short, jet black hair and a full, yet well-groomed beard to match and dark brown eyes. He tends to dress in nice but casual clothing, usually dark jeans and a button-down.

Distinguishing Marks: Tattoo on his right shoulder of an ornamental, eight-pointed star

Personality: Riley is usually rather relaxed and laid back, until or unless his job requires him to be otherwise. He is content to have time alone with his thoughts or a good book, but generally enjoys his time out and about with others just as much. He is friendly with a dry sort of humor, and usually quite generous.

Background: Riley considers himself to be the average "boy next door" most of the time. He was raised in a family of four and his childhood was, for all intents and purposes unremarkable. Family holidays, vacations, all the things you do when you start a family, Riley, his parents and his brother did. That is, until one day when their car was struck by a speeding pickup truck being driven by a man fleeing the police. Their car rolled over multiple times, Riley's father was thrown from the vehicle, and all four of them ended up in the hospital.

Thankfully, each of them lived, mostly with wounds that would heal in time. The experience shook Riley to his core though, and from that point on, he knew he wanted to go to medical school. During his time in the hospital, many of the doctors and nurses had talked about him or around him, but not so much to him. The one person who truly made him feel safe and calm, even while calm, was the anesthesiologist who had been present for his surgery. And so, after graduation and several years of college and medical school, Riley graduated to become an anesthesiologist as well.

Spending as many years in school as he did, Riley admittedly had to make certain other sacrifices. He dated here and there along the way, but never felt that he had the time to commit to anything particularly serious. And so it was, after his graduation, that his family gave him a "gift" of sorts. They surprised him by entering him into the running for a dating reality show, much to his dismay and irritation. Knowing they meant well, however, he finally agreed to play along, and packed his bags for Tangano.
