Vice PresiSent  Tyson Whiteside

Tyson Whiteside is a small business owner who has been operating as a custom home theater contractor since 2008. Beyond that, his time has largely been monopolized by his wife and 2 children, and sports.

Tyson has coached football (American) at levels spanning from 5 year olds to high school varsity, and flag to 11 man tackle. Coming to soccer later in life, he has adopted Chelsea and AC Milan as his home sides, along with the Timbers, Thorns, and US Soccer.

Tyson can often be found loitering at trainings or random sidelines, providing unsolicited opinions to anyone unfortunate enough to have said “hello”.
