Madeline Rudman

Occupation: Account Executive at Braincube

Member since: 2019

Have you served on a committee, the Board, Officer position? Please detail: I’ve served on the Events and Membership committees since joining, and was elected a Board member in 2019.

Why The Portland Club?: I first discovered the club at my bat-mitzvah waaaay back in the day. It wasn’t until I moved back to Maine and ended up in the billiards room one late night once the bars closed that I was introduced to the space as a social club. I worked with Trisha a few years ago, and she helped bring me into the fold. 

Strangest thing in your car right now: A halloween mask I bought impulsively at Walgreens.

Biggest Pet Peeve: Slow walkers.

Favorite meal – where and what: I love Street & Co, you really can’t go wrong! But my favorite meal is either my mom’s vodka rigatoni or my dad’s seafood casserole.

Favorite beer: A free one, even better if it’s a hazy IPA.

Favorite cocktail: Currently, a tequila soda with a splash of grapefruit juice and lime, but if I’m feeling fancy, a Rye Manhattan.

Celebrity crush: Keanu Reeves.

Top 3 favorite music groups: This is such a tough one because I listen to such a huge variety. If we’re sticking with groups rather than singer-songwriters/solo acts, I’d have to say Gorillaz, Fleet Foxes, and The Doors.

What food do you crave most often?: Pasta.

Favorite holiday: Halloween!!!

Favorite sports teams: Whichever football teams I chose on my green sheet from Tomaso’s that week.

Hidden talent: Parallel parking.

Last thing you binge-watched: Hacks on HBO.

It’s a super-hot day – what do you want to be doing and where?: Jumping into the lake at my camp up North.

It’s snowing big, fat flakes with no wind – what do you want to be doing and where?: Skiing, no question! Ideally, Jackson Hole, realistically, Sugarloaf.

One surprising thing about yourself: I do the NYT crossword puzzle daily.

What was your best Halloween costume?: costume?: A Skydancer when I was five, but I had a Klutz face- paint book and I made my mom give me giant butterfly wings that covered my face, and, inexplicably, bunny rabbit teeth.

Craziest job you ever had: Easily temp staffing, never a dull moment.
