Tiffany Andrews

Board member since: Feb 2025
Current Term: Feb 2025–Jan 2027
Responsibilities: 107IST Board Secretary
Hello! Tiffany Andrews or Tif here. I am a born and raised Oregonian and more specifically Portlander. I grew up on the east side of the river though now I am a west sider. I commonly see old coaches, teachers, and people from HS at Providence Park. I did leave the PNW
for college but went away because I always knew I would end up back in the most perfect place to live. About an hour from the mountain, about an hour from the beach, quick trip to another state or country, and in 15 minutes you can be lost in the woods, and no one could find you. My brother in law got me stuck in to the Portland Soccer scene more recently though I remember going to matches as a kid. I have been a 107ist member since 2016 and have dabbled in helping out in different ways until jumping into the deep end with the board.
For my day job, I am an Environmental Scientist saving the world one landfill at a time. Not what I imagined when I got into the environmental field, but I absolutely love it. I am a project manager for an employee owned engineering company with an office here in “Portland” (If you know the weird Tigard zip code thing you get that). I manage multiple large projects and since I have been with my company for 15 years, I have managed to be voluntold on to almost every group or committee we have. I helped create the YP program at my company before aging out and currently sit on the SWANABeaver Chapter Board. That being said I spend a lot less time outside than I used to and spend way too much time on Teams calls. I manage the most amazing team and work with the best clients (some of who are in the stands with us), so I do love what I do.

I'm Tina - you can find me on any Thorns or Timbers match day either on a capo stand or in the merch area. I've been involved in one way or anotherwith the 107IST since 2017. I also have the pleasure of representing the Rose City Riveters each year at ISC.

Board member since: Feb 2024
Current Term: Feb 2024–Jan 2027
Responsibilities: Member, Rose City Riveters Steering Committee, Riveters Merch Team, Membership Committee
Born and raised in St. Louis, lived all around the US, and found a home in Portland a bit over six years ago. On the professional level I am an admissions counselor for Bennington College, a small Liberal Arts college in lovely Vermont. I recruit the PNW for them.
My 107ist story starts about a week after I moved to Portland, when I went to my first Timbers game. The cheapest tickets were in the TA, but to be honest, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I sat (that’s right, sat), high in the 200s and watched the bedlam that played out even in a meaningless mid-week match between two low table teams. I was new to Portland, but knew I was in love with what was happening.
Though I think this may surprise a lot of you who have gotten to know me in the time since, I'm not someone who is usually a jump inwith two feet kinda person. I have a lot of reverence for routine, for what has come before me. It took right around two full years before feeling comfortable joining in. In the past few years I will say confidently that the 107ist has lead me to community--to chosen family. If you’ve come into our spaces on gamedays, odds are I’m one of the people who greeted you at the door, it’s one of my favorite places to be.

Board member since: Feb 2026
Current Term: Feb 2006–Jan 2027 (Timbers Army Steering Committee Board Representative)
Responsibilities: Member, Timbers Army Steering Committee, Travel Committee
I grew up in Hillsboro, but I spent 15 years living in New York City before eventually making my way back home. These days, I split my time between Portland and Mexico City.
My love of soccer was formed in 2002 while watching the World Cup from various pubs across London and Western Europe. In NYC, I became heavily involved with Gotham Company, the regional supporters group in NYC; the sense of community there was really special and it felt like a home away from home.
When I moved back to Portland, I started volunteering with the TA tifo crew and joined their committee in late 2022. In 2025 I started helping with TA away travel and representing our RegionalSupporters Groups on the TA Steering Committee.
In my professional life, I’m a Quality Assurance Engineer in the tech space.
Gabby Rosas

Board member since: 2018
Current Term: Feb 2026–Jan 2028
Responsibilities: 107IST Board President; Chair, Riveters Steering Committee, Riveters Merch
My focus on the Portland soccer scene began shortly after moving to the city, frequenting Thirsty Thursdays quite a bit in 2007 and 2008 to watch the Timbers. I started to go to games at theUniversity of Portland, and catching the USWNT when they would swing through. When the Thorns were announced in 2012, I became even more involved as I volunteered as the Travel Lead for the Rose City Riveters, organizing travel to major matches like the NWSLPlayoff and the NWSL Final. I have maintained a leadership role within both the Riveters and was a part of the 107IST board from 2018 through 2023.
Dan Smith
Email: dan.smith@107ist.org
Board member since: Feb 2026
Current Term: Feb 2026–Jan 2027
Responsibilities: 107IST Treasurer (Ex officio)
Born in Salem, raised in Stayton, I moved back to Oregon (NE Portland) in late 2010 after spending time in the Puget Sound and North Carolina. I always expected to return to Oregon, and my timing coincided with the run-up to the Timbers' MLS inaugural season! After living in Switzerland during 2008 and experiencing Euro 2008 in a host country, I was an instant fan (and fortunate enough to be there on opening night). It took a few seasons before I ventured to the North End, several more until getting season tickets, a few more before I started volunteering with the TA membership table, and now this!
My spare time finds me pursuing random interests - eating pizza, hiking, eating sushi, canoeing, visiting the Oregon Coast, travelling, eating tacos, old house repairs, collecting fountain pens, re-learning how to play the piano, and experiencing Portland's amazing dining scene (more eating). I've spent time volunteering on nonprofit boards for a therapeutic school serving at-risk students as well as an organization focused on historic preservation.
Professionally, I’ve spent 25+ years working in various accounting and finance roles for companies, both large and small. I've spent the past 12 years in executive-level roles for some of the region’s most iconic food and restaurant concepts.
Alex Staller
Email: alex.staller@107ist.org
Board member since: Feb 2026
Current Term: Feb 2026-Jan 2028
Responsibilities: Riveters GDO & Capo
I was born in Southern Oregon, attended university here in Portland and then in Eastern Oregon. After I left university, I bounced around the Pacific Northwest before finally returning to Portland in 2012. My educational background is in electrical and software engineering but I am a true jack of all trades. I've been an IT specialist, a Forest Service Ranger, video game QA specialist, Postal Clerk, computer technician, grill cook, handyman, and landscaper. I finally settled down when I came back to Portland and I've spent the last 14 years working for non-profits helping underserved communities and people with disabilities here in Portland.
My first exposure to supporter culture was in 2010 when my sister brought my dad and I to a Timbersgame. We had box seats that day, but I wanted to be where all the fun was in the North End. I got my chance to get stuck-in in 2012, and I've never looked back. Nowadays you can find me at most Thornsmatch days, where I've been a capo and a member of Game Day Ops for the last ten years. If you don't see me there you might run into me painting Tifo or lending a hand to one of the 107IST's volunteer projects.
Sunday White
Email: sunday.white@107ist.org
Board member since: Feb 2024
Current Term: Feb 2026–Jan 2028
Responsibilities: Chair, Partnerships, Art Gallery, GDO member for both TA & RCR - Capo, and assisting on Rigging, Flag, Tifo (as available)
Hi! I'm Sunday White, aka Sundazed.
You've probably seen me in a nest or on the stage in the north end, supporting both the Timbers Army and Rose City Riveters with passion and energy, over the last 15+ years. I was born and raised here in Portland, and grew up in and around Civic Stadium, watching both pro and high school games, being involved in parades, battle of the bands and other events.
Life takes you on a journey, and when I was able to rejoin the PDX faithful in 2009 with the love of my life, we landed (happily) in the 108 Easy Company area of the Timbers Army. I quickly fell in love with the passion and community of the North End. Chanting, jumping, singing for victory for the boys, while always looking for new opportunities to support strong women had led me to that fateful first meeting and being a part of the birth of the Rose City Riveters. Working with others from the north end on the original iteration of the Riveters steering committee and building our Capo and DnT presence for the 2013 kickoff season and following seasons.
Now, over 15 years in and I continue to work with C/DnT, help on game days the flag crew, and tifo (when I can) and support the rigging team. I have had the tumultuous joy of multiple away days on busses, cars, trains, and planes, working hand in hand with the C/DnT to drive passion from our exceptional bunch of amazing supporters in Portland and across other Regional Supporters Groups.
My focus is to continue to grow our community, building out our support network, and increasing accessibility and entry points for supporters to join our larger overarching organization (107IST). There is so much good work to be done, with a wide variety of focuses, and different committees, that surfacing our needs of various skills sets can help others that are new to our org see they have a place here. Many hands and hearts working together can do great things, and have a massive positive impact on our community.
Outside of the match day, I am an organizational nerd, devourer of books, a project manager, and a lifetime learner in my day-to-day life.I love sharing amazing meals with friends, spending time with our kids and grandkids (they grow so fast!), creating fiber art (mostly knitting, but other types too!), learning calligraphy and watercolor, playing video games, snuggling with our cats and dogs, and helping our local community.
Dominique Whittaker
Email: dominique.whittaker@107ist.org
Board member since: Feb 2020
Current Term: Feb 2026–Jan 2028
Responsibilities: 107IST Board Vice President; Member, BIPOC Advisory Board, Community Outreach
It’s Dominique - your friendly photographer/survey designer/away day warrior/podcaster/patch patrol whale catcher. I’m a native New Yorker, an eldest child, creative, gamer, techie. I moved to Oregon in October 2015 for a work opportunity where I met my now-partner, Andrew, and fell in love with Portland, the PNW, and PTFC. Lived in Seattle and San Jose for a few years, so I’ve been a remote supporter, part of TA:CO and G&GG. Now I’m back in Portland, so during most matches you can find me down on the pitch snapping photos. My day job is working with early-stage startups to help them grow and navigate Microsoft. My afternoon gig is freelance photography.
107IST-wise, I’ve been a member since 2017 and first got involved by attending board meetings. I was encouraged to join Community Outreach, where I was Secretary and then joined the BIPOC Advisory group and the photo team. If you’ve taken a pulse survey in the past two years, thank you (I’m often helping craft those and reading out the results to the leadership team).
