David Riggs attended Huntington High School. At the age of 19, he started working for the Cabell County Board of Education as a custodian following in the footsteps of his Mom and Dad. While working at Beverly Hills Junior High, Wrestling Coach Joe Browning asked him to help get his boys in shape. This was the seed toward his coaching career. Transferring the next year to Enslow Junior High, he saw several boys who were neither doing well nor liking school. While looking for something to motivate them, David along with the late John Barriteau took on the jobs of coaching the wrestling team. It changed a lot of troubled boys' lives as well as David's chance to give back. Years later, he transferred to Cammack Junior High where he finished out his coaching career. Under David's lead, Cammack won the county tournament numerous times. Several of his boys went on to become State Champions. One of them was his son Justin who became Huntington High School's first 3X WV State Champion. During the years of coaching, his two daughters and wife worked many hours and weekends at tournaments in support of his love for wrestling. Presently, David is the Head Custodian at Huntington High School. David and his wife, Pam married for 35 years are the parents of Jessica, Jamie, and Justin. They are also the proud grandparents of five wonderful grandchildren.
