When Ryan Madden joined the Colorado Rapids in June of 2017 as Sr. Director of Communications, he immediately worked towards bringing more transparency to the club. Since then, he’s actively answered questions on Twitter, asked how the team can be better on Reddit, and has been super helpful in improving media relations. But Ryan’s time with the Rapids has come to an end—he’s accepted a position as the Vice President of Communications and Public Relations with the USL.
Ryan has plenty of good memories from his time with the ‘Pids, though: “last-second wins, memorable away trips, Gordo celebrating shirtless in the stands, Tommy’s last second header versus Minnesota, Kellyn’s debut, Conor McGahey’s fourth of July outfits, Laurie Ford Day, Special Olympics, watching the faces of young kids light up when they meet Tim Howard, funny moments with front office staff, the pop-up player announcement, the Media Cup… they’re all moments I’ll take with me when I leave,” he explained.
