First Community Mortgage named three additions to its growing team: Brook Benton, Jason Copeland and Jake McPherson as assistant vice presidents.

Benton brings close to 20 years of experience and was a founding partner and loan officer for BrightPath Mortgage prior to joining CenterState Bank's mortgage unit.

Before joining CenterState, Copeland was a senior loan originator with BrightPath Mortgage. In addition to extensive refinance experience, he specializes in purchase transactions such as FHA, conventional and VA, as well as refinancing. His bachelor's degree was focused on real estate.

McPherson spent four years with CenterState, first as a full-cycle recruiter, then overseeing an internal origination team and later as an originator. He previously was a national director with a tech management services company.
