EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon Pacific Bank has appointed David Rice as Executive Vice President and Director of Trust & Wealth Management, a newly created leadership role that underscores the bank’s commitment to strategic growth, enhanced risk management, and an elevated client experience across its fiduciary and wealth management services.
A Seasoned Fiduciary Leader
Rice brings more than two decades of experience in fiduciary and wealth management leadership. His career includes serving as Senior Trust Managing Director at U.S. Bank in Portland, Senior Fiduciary Officer at Trust Point, and most recently as Director of Client Experience & Client Service at Resonant Capital Advisors.

“David’s deep background in trust and law, combined with his recent experience in wealth management, makes him uniquely qualified to lead this important area of our Bank,” said Ron Green, President and CEO of Oregon Pacific Bank. “By adding an executive-level role focused on strategy for both trust and wealth services, we’re reinforcing our commitment to delivering personalized service and ensuring a seamless client experience while continuing to grow thoughtfully as a community bank.”
A Legacy of Fiduciary Service

This expansion has ensured that clients across Oregon can access local expertise while benefiting from long-term relationships with the same trust officers throughout their financial journey.

A Client-Centered Approach
For Rice, the decision to join Oregon Pacific Bank reflects both professional alignment and personal values.
“I chose Oregon Pacific Bank because of its commitment to building lasting relationships and its deep roots in the communities it serves,” Rice said. “For me, Trust and Wealth Management are about people first, and OPB’s local, client-first approach aligns perfectly with that. The Bank is at an exciting point of growth while staying true to its community bank roots, and I’m thrilled to join a team that is forward-thinking yet keeps personal service at the center of everything—helping clients focus on what matters most.”
