Personal life

Finley was raised in Scarborough, Maine, a coastal town seven miles south of Portland. His father is part-owner of the Dry Dock pub and restaurant on Portland’s waterfront. After high school, Finley enrolled in a restaurant management program at Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island. During his time at Johnson and Wales Finley’s academic suffered due to a large abscess in his throat. Finley required emergency treatment and lost about 60 pounds in the process. In order to cope, Finley watched movies and through this hardship, he decided to become an actor. At the age of 19, he headed to Los Angeles with no acting experience, nor any contacts, and for a time he ended up living in a hostel. Finley did not only go on a lot of auditions, but he made a number of connections through his love of basketball. He played basketball in a league of Hollywood creative types, where he made business connections with producers, actors, and musicians.[3]

One of Finley best friends is his Secret Life of an American Teenager co-star Daren Kagasoff, one of the activity the two enjoy together is golfing.[4]
