Momentum Loans Adds Executive VP

Momentum Loans, a residential mortgage lender based in Sandy, Utah, said Tuesday it has appointed Rob Allphin as executive vice president. 

Allphin has worked in the residential mortgage industry for 30 years and is recognized as a national leader in sales and production, the company said. He previously served in the same position at First Colony Mortgage. Before that, he served as a regional vice president for Guild Mortgage, a regional manager for Academy Mortgage Corp., and as an area manager for Countrywide Home Loan Inc.

Allphin has a bachelor’s degree in finance and financial management services from Brigham Young University.

“Momentum is recognized in the mortgage industry for operational excellence and efficiency, and Rob brings exactly what we need to build on that excellence — an ability to ramp up production by guiding a team that is customer and loan officer-centric,” said Lance Miller, Momentum president.

“Momentum is the perfect fit for me,” Allphin said. “They are extremely well run and I am honored with this opportunity to further expand and strengthen our team. I look forward to building a culture of ‘We’ with our Momentum family. Having worked alongside great teams at First Colony, Guild, and Academy Mortgage, I am excited to take our Momentum team to the next level.”
