I'm Michael Riley and I live in Potlatch, Idaho. I'm married and have two sons. I teach eighth grade English and Civics at Lincoln Middle School in Pullman, WA. In order to further the education of my students, I have participated in many experiential activities--as an interpretive historian for the Lewis and Clark/Corps of Discovery and as a willing participant to color my hair pink in the event that my 8th graders could raise enough food for the canned food drive at the local food bank (they won--see my hair above).
My mother is an immigrant from Vienna and met my father while he was a war correspondent in Europe. They settled in Little Rock, Arkansas, where my father was from and where I was born on the day LBJ was sworn in.
I earned a B.A. in English from Washington State University and rowed on the men's varsity rowing team. After graduation, I worked for Hawthorne Valley Farm in New York State and the Zinniker Family Farm in Wisconsin as a farm laborer. I also worked as a service worker for the Lindblad expeditions that went between Alaska and Baja.
My family currently lives in the town of Potlatch.

Michael Riley is all that he says, and more. He is honest, enthusiastic,
serious, funny, and determined to change the mess we old folks have made of
politics. Michael will make a GREAT Idaho delegate for Obama. Please send
him to the Democratic National Convention.
His Mom
P.S. Happy Mother's Day, Diane.
