Patrick Madden, TRIP’s executive director, has been a face at TRIP for decades – almost 3, in fact. His name and face is synonymous with TRIP, having been here since 1985, when he was first hired as the Director of Real Estate Development -- 29 years ago (which is really odd since he swears he’s not a day over 30)!
Patrick has real staying power; he has been TRIP’s executive director since 1987 and never left, just as he has never left Troy for any significant amount of time. Born and bred in Troy, he lives on the Eastside, only two blocks from where he grew up and where his father still resides. Patrick is a maven in regard to risk management and his motto as a director of a complex housing organization: always hire people smarter than you.
Patrick says he knows a little about a lot of things. He is an skilled photographer, a history buff, enjoys music and kayaking and is a graduate of Albany Law School. He has been learning the mandolin for several years now; ask him to play a tune sometime!
In addition to his roles at work and play, Patrick also is a dad to three great kids. We are fortunate to have this wise captain at the helm of TRIP!
