\u201cIt\u2019s a tremendous honor to see individuals, meet with them, talk to them, they trust you with their story,\u201d said Riva.<\/p>\n

Riva is a 1994 graduate of Wright State\u2019s Mass Communication program<\/a> at Wright State. \u201cWright State taught me how to communicate,\u201d he said. \u201cMost importantly, they taught me how to listen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Riva credits the internship requirements at Wright State and his time at WWSU, the student radio station, for preparing him for the workforce. \u201cBy the time I was a sophomore in college I was already working at Z93,\u201d said Riva.<\/p>\n

His career in journalism expands over 20 years with jobs in Dayton, Green Bay, Denver and Sacramento before he returned to his hometown in 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel a strong sense of responsibility from what I do for a living to this community,\u201d said Riva.<\/p>\n
