Ryan Poles Wife Katie Poles Was The Soccer Captain While In College

Ryan Poles and his wife Katie Poles met at Canandaigua Academy during their sophomore year.

Katie, like her partner, works in the sports field. The leading lady of Ryan Poles is the program director of i9 Sports, a position she has held for 11 years. Kaite looks after kids ranging from ages two to fourteen. Sports and Katie have a long history.

It is a field she has been part of since her uni days with Suny Cobleskill. A graduate of the New-York based university in science and early childhood, Katie was part of the women’s soccer and basketball team.

The sporty couple, Ryan and Katie, met at Canandaigua Academy. Ryan learned about Katie through his younger sister, Kelli Poles, who was part of the Canandaigua Basketball Team. 

After graduating from Suny Cobleskill and working as a headteacher for three different schools, Katie’s first job that linked her with sports came in 2009 when she got the opportunity to work as a youth sports coordinator at All American Indoor Sports. 

She worked there till 2011 and then joined Epic Indoor Sports as epic kids director. It was also the year Ryan and Katie decided to get married. The couple tied the knot on July 29, 2011. A day after their marriage, Katie shared a photo of the two on her Facebook handle as the newlyweds posed for a snap in front of a background of the ocean. 

The two high school sweethearts are parents to a couple of adorable children and are nearing thirteen years of marriage. But sustaining their marriage between the two children was difficult for the pair.

Katie went through postpartum depression after the delivery of her children, the latter being less intense than the first one. She questioned her marriage with Ryan, but the two powered through the difficult time. 

Ryan Poles comes from a religious family involved in the sports field. 

It simply can’t be more American than that. Ryan Poles’ grandfather, Robert Poles Sr, served in the army for four years before being honorably discharged and later chose to serve the church as a deacon for over forty years.

His father, Robert Poles Jr, a graduate of Boston University, was a football coach in the Division III school, St John Fisher College, and it was there that Ryan was exposed to football as he worked as a ball boy. 

Ryan’s uncles, Ronnie and Roland, were also football players. Ronnie took note of his older brother and played as a running back at Boston College. Roland played fullback at the University of Tennessee and was drafted in the 10th round by Los Angeles Chargers.

In this family of rich sporting culture came a daughter-in-law with an equal interest in sports. Ryan and Katie tied the knot when Ryan was the college scouting coordinator for Kansas City Chiefs. 

Ryan might look like a serious man from an outsider’s perspective, but his wedding video shows that the poker face is only for the football cameras. The infamous video has been viewed 2.7 million times as Ryan and Katie have the grandest wedding entrance ever. 

From sitting on a bicycle to being dragged across the lake with the theme music of Mission Impossible playing in the background, Ryan and Katie certainly set the bar for the wedding reception entrance. 

The couple’s first child, a son named Mason, was born in 2013. The couple became parents again in 2018 to a daughter and now living in Chicago as a happy family of four. 

Ryan Poles parents Robert Poles Jr and Mary Allen raised him alongside his younger sister.

He was born and raised in Canandaigua, New York, with his sister, Kelli Rose. Kelli is a sophomore member of the University of Vermont women’s basketball team. Ryan followed in the footsteps of his dad and joined Boston University.

Ryan’s father, Robert Poles Jr, is a former football player at Boston University and a former football coach. He was drafted by Seattle Seahawks but couldn’t make it to the final roaster.

Robert is the president and founder of Poles’ Career Academy of Public Service and is a former cop of the Rochester Police Department, having served for twenty-one years and won several accolades.

Even at his age, Robert was hungry for knowledge, so after his retirement in 2008 from the force, he joined Nazareth College and worked at Paychex as a corporate Recruiter and Human Resource Advisor.  

Robert has had a huge impact on Rochester City and has served the community greatly. He excelled in every role possible, whether it was being an athlete, a coach, a deacon, and especially a father. 

The general manager of the Chicago Bears has kept his family away from the public limelight, but there is no doubt that if it weren’t for his dad willing to take him to college games, Ryan might not have had the same interest in football.
