About

Professor Riley was born out west.  He gave up his dream to be a professional cowbell player, and he actually rode the Greyhound out of Lodi and decided to become a college professor.  He's taught at Gozaga, UM-Duluth, and UWSP.  Since arriving at UWSP he's won the university-wide teaching award and also the Katz Distinguished Professor Award from the College of Letters & Science.  He can often be heard on Wisconsin Public Radio.  He most recently wrote Bureaucracy and the Policy Process (Rowman & Littlefield, 2006), co-authored with Bryan Brophy-Baermann.
