Ace Padian was given the name Ann Catherine Padian on October 9, 1978, in California; she is the daughter of Kevin and Nancy Padian, who live in Kensington, California, and are 68 and 67 years old, respectively. Ace went to The College Preparatory School for his education.

Ace Padian, an attorney, graduated with a bachelor’s degree from Yale University in 2000 and with a law degree from the University of California Hastings College of Law in San Francisco, California, in 2007. In December 2007, she was admitted to the California State Bar.

Ace worked as an attorney for Farella Braun & Martel before relocating to Florida.

Ace Padian is married to James Click (born February 14, 1978), who is an American baseball executive who serves as the general manager of the Houston Astros of Major League Baseball. Sam and Nate Click are the names of the couple’s two children.

Before being hired as the Astros’ general manager in January 2020, her husband James worked for the Tampa Bay Rays for 15 years. In 2000, he also graduated from Yale University. Chaim Bloom, who worked with Click at Baseball Prospectus, tipped the scales in his favor.

After working as an intern with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2005, the organization recruited Click in 2006 to work in the team’s front office and later got promoted to Vice President of Baseball Operations.
