Riley's younger years of Pokemon and Nintendo grew into a love of Rubik's Cubes, Magic the Gathering and poker. He knew his way around online games and Playstation, evolving into his own live-stream of the game Destiny.
His love of pets led Riley to adopt a rescue dog, Suki. He loved her to pieces and they were constant companions.
