Ricky Lee Riley

Hi, I'm Ricky Lee Riley. Welcome to my profile!

I have the spirit of the pioneer, together with the aptitude and ability for innovation and inventiveness. I have a great interest and respect in the activities, adventures, and discoveries of many of the great pioneering entities of the past. I am one who is genuinely interested in applying my own skills, experiences and talents in order to make a real humanitarian contribution. I am both logical and intuitive. I won't act on a hunch unless I have worked it out on a logical level first. I dig deep, question motives, and instinctively feel what is going on in the environment around me. - Ricky Lee Riley
