About
My name is Colton Riesen and I am currently attending Washington State University. I grew up in a small town called Bishop in California's Owens Valley which is nestled between the Sierra Nevada and White mountain ranges. I have always been involved in sports and played roller hockey and baseball throughout high school. Because of my participation in sports and the beautiful wilderness which surrounds my hometown I have always had an active lifestyle. I love to enjoy my surroundings and keep myself active and involved. These values also apply to my schooling and I graduated in the top 10 of my high school class. I have excelled in my first semester at WSU and hope to maintain this high level while furthering myself and my education.
