Executive Director and CEO, Kevin Riley, a Fulbright Scholar and Oakland, CA resident, is currently involved with David Bass in creating a 12-part TV series to introduce Reclamation Nation to a national audience.  Kevin has written and optioned multiple TV show concepts, co-produced pilot reels and provided on-screen talent for The National Geographic Channel, The Discovery Channel Planet Green Network, and multiple San Francisco Bay Area production companies.


Kevin's time-tested business model of networking various micro-manufacturing "partners" to accomplish large fabrication projects is the genesis of Reclamation Nation's "virtual factory" model.  Kevin's works are in many San Francisco Bay area collections, and his fabrication clients include the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the M. H. de Young Museum, the California College of Arts and Crafts, Forbes Inc., and the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
