Several months ago, we added an additional Underwriting Manager, JJ Darnell, to support our Western Region. Today we are pleased to announce the creation of East and West Coast Underwriting Teams. JJ and Lindsey have been working together over the last few months to acclimate JJ to our VanDyk family. Currently they share the responsibility of managing the UW Scenario Help Desk. Please continue to use theUWScenario@vandykmortgage.com regardless of East or West Coast. Since the creation of East and West coast teams, we have created new UW queues for East and West Coast that will be utilized when submitting loan files to Underwriting.
JJ Darnell will manage the West Coast Team to include the following teammates:
West Coast Team
Tracy Lucas
Kayla Murphy
Edward Boback
Rosemarie (Lynn) Smith
If you have an underwriting issue after 6:00 EST please contact JJ Darnell at (616) 974-9275 or via email at jdarnell@vandykmortgage.com.
Lindsey Kuhnle will manage the East Coast Team and those teammates include:
East Coast Team
Jennifer Anderson
Karen Widmeier
Ken Frachiseur
Melissa Riddle
Loree Haugom
Connie Gregg
Deana Daniels

Kelly Sherwood, Assistant Underwriting Manager, will remain an integral part of both teams. She will continue to be a support to JJ, Lindsey and our group of underwriters. Kelly will also continue to manage rush requests for both East Coast and West Coast branches. Please email her with these requests copying Lindsey or JJ according to region.
To make sure we are fully supporting our West Coast origination teams through closing and funding we currently have two Closing Team members who work a schedule to accommodate our West Coast partners, Kelly McLaughlin and Delores Philmore. If you have an issue with a closing after 5:00 EST please contact either Kelly McLaughlin at 616.974.9208 or email atkmclaughlin@vandykmortgage.com or Delores Philmore at 727.497.6658 or email at dphilore@vandykmortgage.com.
