Behind the bricks and mortar, there are the people of Western Illinois University and the Macomb community.

The Riggins Family: We Are WIU

Who We Are

Ryan and Ashley Riggins from Macomb, IL

What We Do

  • Ryan: assistant vice president of lending at MidAmerica National Bank (commercial & ag lending)
  • Ashley: account executive at Purdum Gray Ingledue Beck (PGIB) Insurance & Investments (licensed in all lines of insurance; puts together marketing material and initiatives for PGIB)

Why We Like WIU

We like WIU for several reasons. The faculty and staff are involved in the community. There are always things to do on and off campus, from sporting events to concerts to the Homecoming Parade.

Living in Macomb, we feel WIU provides opportunities we wouldn't otherwise have in a town our size.

We also met at WIU in Stipes Hall in 2005, and we were married in 2009!

Our kids love Rocky, and they look forward to seeing him at the football and basketball games. Go 'Necks!
