Riley moved to florida with his now Wife and from there Riley built and managed the east coast operations for WSB and over the next several years he opened offices in 26 states. Riley and his 2 partners shared in the massive success that was WSB until the crash of 2008. From 2008 to 2011 Riley tried to rebuild and save the company but was unable to do so.

During the 2020 pandemic Riley started Aacadia Payments and with that he was able to help a lot of business owners pivot and adapt their business and the way they took payments from their customers and by doing so he was able to not only keep businesses from going under but most all of them saw double and triple digit gains in their business. In 2022 Riley brought on a former colleague and current friend and industry powerhouse, Darrell Peppers. Darrell accepted the offer to become Aacadia’s Chief Operations Officer.
