Known for his role in the popular series Gator Boys, which first aired in 2012, he quickly became a recognizable figure in wildlife television. The show followed him as he explored the vast Everglades and trekked through the swamps of Florida, showcasing his skills as an alligator catcher. His on-screen presence didn’t stop there—in 2013, he made a guest appearance as a bartender on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, adding a fun twist to his public persona.

Before fame came knocking, his journey with wildlife began at just 11 years old. Under the guidance of Mike “Skeet” Johns at the Native Village in Hollywood, Florida, he started gaining hands-on experience working with both native and exotic animals. It was clear even then that his passion for wildlife was more than just a passing interest. He later graduated from South Plantation High School in Florida, laying the academic groundwork while continuing to build his future in animal handling.

Family has always played a role in his life. He shares a close bond with his younger brother, Andy Riffle, and credits much of his early support to his parents, George and Kim Riffle. Over the years, he’s remained grounded despite the spotlight, staying true to his roots—all while making a name for himself in the world of wildlife conservation and entertainment.
