Executive to oversee mortgage sales strategy and business growth

Freedom Bank of Virginia has brought in mortgage industry veteran Anthony Denk (pictured) as senior vice president and director of sales and production, strengthening its mortgage division as it aims for continued growth.
Denk, who has over 25 years of mortgage industry experience, will work alongside chief mortgage officer Richard Hutchison to oversee mortgage production and sales strategies. His role will also focus on expanding the bank’s mortgage services, developing new products, and representing Freedom Bank in industry trade groups and local community organizations.
Hutchison expressed confidence in Denk’s ability to contribute immediately, citing their decade-long working relationship at Virginia Heritage Bank.
"With over 25 years of experience in the mortgage industry, Tony brings invaluable expertise to our team,” said Hutchison. “He will work alongside Jamie Adkins, senior vice president and senior mortgage operations officer, to continue to strengthen our product offering and services. Tony will also assist in building customer segments and products that will drive growth in the bank's consumer line of business as well as expand mortgage services for our corporate banking clients.
“I'm confident in his ability to make an immediate and significant impact. His strong rapport with our team will be an asset as we continue our growth trajectory."
Denk most recently served as chief mortgage officer at First Fidelity Funding Group, following previous roles at Presidential Bank Mortgage and Virginia Heritage Mortgage. A University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate, he has spent years serving homebuyers across Virginia.
