Tom Albright - Tom is seeking election to his first full term on the Oregon Club board. He has volunteered for many nonprofits over the years and wishes to continue to do the work required of being a board member for a “working board”; as he has since his election to the board in 2021. In 2018 Tom was awarded Pacific Continental Bank's coveted company-wide "Volunteer of the Year" Award, in recognition for his countless hours of community service. He volunteers his time with the St. Paul Rodeo Association, Boys & Girls Club, Sponsors Inc, Food for Lane County, American Cancer Society, NAMI Lane County, Junction City High School Auction, Springfield Education Foundation, Volunteers in Medicine, Springfield Library Foundation, Yujin Gakuen Japanese Immersion Elementary School, Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, The Junction City Scandinavian Festival and Delta Rotary. He is also a member of Sid Voorhees' auction team.
Tom has worked at loanDepot since August of 2020, first as a Production Assistant and currently as an Internal Loan Consultant. Previously he spent 6 years in Eugene in the banking industry as a Personal Banker. In his current and previous roles, he is front-and-center with each customer, so finding solutions and teamwork are second nature to him.
A third generation Oregonian and U of O alumnus along with being a rabid Ducks fan, Oregon athletics are something that he is passionate about and that he dedicates a great deal of time supporting and funding. While not attending Oregon sporting events and Oregon Club activities, he can be found around St. Paul, Oregon helping to put on the nation’s greatest July 4th rodeo.
Kyle Blain - My name is Kyle Blain, I was born and raised in Eugene Or. I currently live in Coburg with my wife and 4 boys. I have been involved in many aspects of our community, most recently a Coburg City Councilor, Board member of Oregon Mortgage Association, and have been involved with the Oregon Club in the past years. I grew up in Eugene going to all the Duck football and Basketball games with my dad as a season ticket holder. Now my sons and I attend as many games as their sports allow.
Professionally I am a private money lender specializing in unique real estate lending and development. As well as a partner in my fathers 35+ year construction company building homes throughout Lane County. I believe I bring a unique perspective as a businessman, as Eugene native and a Duck fan.
I have always loved what the Oregon Club does for our student athletes and I would love to be a part of growing the O Club’s vision.
