WORLD’S TOUGHEST FIXES HOST<br />

SEAN RILEY TALKS ABOUT HIS MOST<br />

EXTREME JOBS, GETTING HAZED BY<br />

WORK CREWS AND WHY HE’D MAKE<br />

AN IDEAL HUSBAND (SORT OF).<br />

BY JOHN SELLERS<br />

For most men, fixing stuff means successfully<br />

navigating the scrum at Home<br />

Depot to pick up an obscure sink part, or<br />

whipping up a plate of killer scrambled<br />

eggs, or handing the car keys to a trusted<br />

mechanic. Noble and important skills, all,<br />

but they pale in comparison to the feats<br />

professional set designer and engineering geek Sean<br />

Riley pulls off . As the host of National Geographic Channel’s<br />

World’s Toughest Fixes, the 35-year-old Riley travels<br />

the world helping corporations and governments solve<br />

costly industrial snafus. These complex jobs, which Riley<br />

breaks down for the viewer using animated graphics<br />

and quirky, can-do charm, put him in some improbable<br />

UNITED.COM • 5


6<br />

situations: dangling from a helicopter<br />

to inspect live power lines, suiting up<br />

for a radiation zone at a nuclear power<br />

plant and climbing half a mile to the<br />

top of a broken antenna. In short, it’s<br />

not the kind of stuff your average<br />

handyman can handle, but by doing it,<br />

Riley provides a riveting glimpse into<br />

high-stakes project management (not<br />

to mention actual riveting).<br />

Riley has a home in San Francisco,<br />

where he also operates Gravity Design,<br />

a rigging company, but he has been on<br />

the road virtually nonstop since World’s<br />

Toughest Fixes launched in 2008. While<br />

he’s got something like the ultimate<br />

guy’s job, the unmarried man says he’s<br />

increasingly game for settling down.<br />

“I’m everything a girl could ever want,<br />

except for the fact that I’m gone 320<br />

days a year,” he jokes. “But if you can<br />

put up with that…”<br />

You’ve helped fi x everything from an<br />

atom smasher to the Alaskan pipeline.<br />

How are you at changing light bulbs?<br />

I am, in fact, very handy. I love to<br />

build my own stuff and fi x my own<br />

house, fi x my car. Partially because it’s<br />

cheaper, but also because I actually<br />

get a kick out of understanding how<br />

things work. If something that I don’t<br />

know anything about breaks, my fi rst<br />

instinct is to take it apart.<br />

Any idea where that urge comes<br />

from? I grew up on a goat farm in<br />

Oregon and then a walnut orchard<br />

in northern California—so, there are<br />

a bunch of farming and agricultural<br />

applications in my history. Coming<br />

from farm people, you defi nitely<br />

do things with what you got, and<br />

you fi x stuff any way you can. I was<br />

introduced pre y early to the idea of<br />

self-suffi ciency. I took a lot of things<br />

apart. I even got most of them back<br />

together again.<br />

Did you ever get busted for ruining<br />

something? I was pre y careful. I<br />

didn’t take apart anything critical or<br />

anything that anyone would miss<br />

during the period of time it took to<br />

get it back together again. In that way,<br />

I learned project management: If you<br />

can get it apart, check it out, and get<br />

it back together again before Mom<br />

notices, hey, you’re good.<br />

Some of the scenes in World’s<br />

Toughest Fixes require you to put<br />

yourself at extreme risk. Is there<br />

anything you’re afraid of? I’m scared<br />

of everything. I have a very healthy<br />

respect for the dangers that are<br />

inherent to the job we do. I’m scared<br />

of heights, I would say, but I don’t let<br />

that fear control my body. I don’t let<br />

that fear overcome my desire to get<br />

something done.<br />

Didn’t you work on a 2,000-foot<br />

tower in South Dakota? Okay, it<br />

might be a stretch to say I’m scared<br />

of heights. I have a respect for what<br />

heights can do.<br />

Do things ever go very wrong once<br />

you’re up there? Oh, yeah. What we’re<br />

trying to get done is an inherently<br />

frustrating thing. These are not<br />

P.R. stunts. We’re picking genuinely<br />

large-scale, diffi cult problems, and<br />

there’s a lot of money and resources<br />

on the line. And there can be a lot of<br />

high emotion, especially when you<br />

approach a project like a nuclear<br />

power plant that’s going to do a swapout.<br />

And believe me, things don’t<br />

always go right the fi rst time.<br />

You’ve assisted some major corporations.<br />

Before episodes of the show<br />

aired, was it hard convincing them<br />

to let cameras document the fi x?<br />

That’s a fantastic question, and you’re<br />

right to phrase it “before the show<br />

aired.” Certainly once the show was<br />

on for a couple years and gained some<br />

traction, people knew that the focus<br />

of the show is not on blame. We’re not<br />

there to point a fi nger. Because, let’s<br />

be honest, if you’re showcasing large,<br />

broken items, in most cases somebody<br />

somewhere screwed up. So I defi nitely<br />

had to do a lot of convincing with<br />

these companies—and with the crews<br />

that do the actual work.<br />

Right. Some of the workers must be<br />

a li le wary of working with some<br />

yahoo from the outside. Totally.<br />

And I understand that hesitancy,<br />

and that mistrust. Because I would<br />

share it, to be honest. These are very<br />

dangerous things that we do on the<br />

show. If somebody called me and told<br />

me that some yahoo from Hollywood<br />

was gonna be hanging out at the site<br />

running around, my fi rst reaction<br />

would be, “Stay over here, don’t touch<br />

anything, don’t talk to any of my guys.”<br />

It takes a while for them to realize<br />

that I know what I’m talking about.<br />

Do the crews haze you? Are you kidding<br />

me? I am the perpetual new guy.<br />

I’m the new guy on every crew—and<br />

the one with a camera and a target<br />

on his back. You go through a certain<br />

amount of ribbing. That’s part of the<br />

process of building trust.<br />

Shaving cream pies to the face? It’s<br />

more verbal stuff . And every industry<br />

has its own particular jokes. You know,<br />

somebody will send a rookie to get<br />

some specialty thing that sounds<br />

plausible, like, “Get the cam lube.”<br />

Cams need to be lubricated, I guess.<br />

You can spend an hour going from


PHOTOGRAPH BY PETE TAKACS/NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC TELEVISION<br />

person to person looking for cam lube,<br />

and it’s a good joke for everybody until<br />

you realize that cam lube doesn’t exist.<br />

It’s called World’s Toughest Fixes.<br />

Shouldn’t you be helping to overhaul<br />

the U.S. healthcare system? Wow.<br />

Well, I will say this. In order to get<br />

anything fi xed, you have to have<br />

everybody involved genuinely interested<br />

in fi xing it. Only then can you<br />

generate the willpower and teamwork<br />

necessary.<br />

Do you think you could save the<br />

Spider-Man musical on Broadway?<br />

Funny you should mention that.<br />

That’s right up our alley. And I<br />

have a really good friend working<br />

on that—he was hired a er some<br />

accidents on set. What I would say<br />

about that is that sometimes you can<br />

judge the diffi culty of a project by its<br />

failures. It’s easy to say, “This thing is<br />

breaking all the time.” But you have<br />

to judge that against the ambition<br />

and the diffi culty of what they’re<br />

trying to achieve. I think that’s true of<br />

Spider-Man. It’s also true, for example,<br />

of NASA.<br />

Can you fi x a<br />

Ming vase that<br />

falls on the<br />

fl oor? Sure, you<br />

can superglue<br />

it back<br />

together. But<br />

broken hearts?<br />

Good luck lu<br />

with th that that.<br />

A BIG FLOP Sean Riley plunges into<br />

UNITED.COM • 7<br />

How so? They built, what, fi ve<br />

shu les? And almost half of them had<br />

design issues. It’s not a track record<br />

that would inspire you to get into a<br />

car they made, right? But if you weigh<br />

that against the incredible, intricate<br />

diffi culty of what they’re trying to<br />

achieve, it’s a diff erent picture. Can<br />

Spider-Man be fi xed? Certainly. But<br />

sometimes you have to think twice.<br />

When you see that much failure, you<br />

think maybe what they’re trying to<br />

achieve is a li le too diffi cult.<br />

Is it hard for you to give up on<br />

something? It’s not in my nature to<br />

give up. I’ll keep trying until they pull<br />

me off the problem. I like to believe<br />

that my crew and I can do anything.<br />

But the truth is, you can do anything<br />

with the right amount of time and the<br />

right amount of money.<br />

Some things can’t be fi xed, though.<br />

I would take exception to that. I’d say<br />

anything in the world can be fi xed.<br />

The question is, is it worth it?<br />

Well, what about a unique work of<br />

art? In theory, it’s fi xable. Can you fi x<br />

a Ming vase that falls on the fl oor?<br />

You can superglue it back together.<br />

But, okay, you’re right—some things<br />

can’t be fi xed. Broken hearts? Good<br />

luck with that.<br />

You’ve been everywhere for this<br />

show. What else is le to fi x? There<br />

are a couple of things. Should we start<br />

with the space station? I’d work on the<br />

space station in a heartbeat. I would<br />

love to go into space. I still would love<br />

to get to Antarctica and work on one<br />

of those research stations.<br />

No time like the present! Boy, you<br />

know, to be quite honest, I’m going<br />

to sit this weekend out. Cook eggs<br />

Benedict, read my book, watch the<br />

sunset and then get back in the game<br />

on Monday morning. But for now, I’m<br />

ready for a break.

“There is not a drab image or a middling performance in the piece. The freewheeling adaptation drops needless scenes and spurs the<br />

story ahead with galloping momentum.”—Minneapolis Star-Tribune<br />

Based on Charlotte Brontë’s classic novel, this adaptation tells the story of an orphan who now works as a governess for a wealthy and<br />

moody landowner, Mr. Rochester. The isolated and imposing residence and Mr. Rochester’s coldness have sorely tested the young<br />

woman’s resilience, but as Jane reflects upon her past and recovers her natural curiosity, she will learn more of Mr. Rochester and the<br />

terrible secret that he is hiding.<br />
