Located by Humboldt, SD, I have been helping reverse mortgage prospects for 16+ years, and am licensed in South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wyoming, California, Tennessee, Florida, and Arkansas}. 

After graduating from the University of South Dakota and then joining the South Dakota National Guard serving in the Vermillion medical unit, and becoming an officer became more than just a job. I love what I do, Why Jake "The Flagman" Droge?  I have decided to run a half-marathon in all 50 states carrying a United States flag.  I wanted to have a purpose for my training and my goal is to promote unity and patriotism. I love the USA.
