Coach Riley was born and raised right here in Fort Collins. After high school, Riley wasn’t sure what to do next, but wanted to find something to be passionate about. In 2019, Riley started training and found that passion in Muay Thai.

After training hard for many years, Riley recently won first place in the 2026 Muay Thai state tournament.

One of Riley’s favorite things about training is seeing other people learn and love the sport, especially the kids. Riley believes that having fun is the most important part of training. Riley’s best advice for any student is to never be afraid to ask questions. Training has helped Riley build a lot of confidence and keep up a healthy, exciting lifestyle.

Outside of the academy, Riley loves being outdoors, especially fishing and hiking. Riley’s goal is to be a champion both in Muay Thai and in life by staying happy and healthy every day.
