About Rictor Riolo

I have been called a "one-man chop shop." Actually, one of my instructors called me that, and he's right. I can write, set up, light, shoot, operate audio, edit, composite special effects, and then market and distribute the finished product effectively on social media.

I bring a top level of production with whatever I make. Whether it's in front of the camera, or behind. In front of the camera, I am a very outspoken media personality. Behind the camera, I am able to collaborate with other creatives and add my strength of vision to any project. I adopted the quote by Peter Morton who created the Hard Rock Cafe, "Love all. Serve all."

I was already a self-taught digital video creator on YouTube prior to being cast on Spike TV's "The Ten Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty" reality show. After witnessing the professionalism of the show's production house, Original Media, I pushed myself to a higher standard. After being directed by the production crew and producing my own content, I became well-versed by honing my skills. I became a professional, digital video production artist.

My education started with an Associate Degree in Arts from the College of Southern Nevada and then a Video Production Certificate from Portland Community College with honors. I am now finishing my Master's Degree in Learning Design and Technology at Western Oregon University and I made the Dean's List at Portland State University last year. I graduate in June of 2025. Next will be my doctorate.

I grew up in Southern California, lived in Las Vegas, and now reside in the Portland area, Oregon.
