About Jacob Droge
A little bit of history about me. I have been a life-long resident of South Dakota. I grew up by Stickney, SD and then went to USD and graduated with a business degree. During my studies at USD I started working at Citibank, SD in 1996 and this was the start of my career. In 2001 I started at Wells Fargo and after several positions was offered a Reverse Mortgage Specialist position. This has to be one of the most rewarding positions that a person could have. I have helped clients who needed additional cash-flow to clients who wanted to enjoy more time with family and friends. Some of these same clients have truly become friends along the way.
This position has also allowed me to spend more time with my family. I have been married for 11 years and we are blessed wtih 3 children. We spend a majority of our time helping our children with their activities. My wife and I coach both of our basketball teams so ono the weekends you will find us at a gym and if basketball is completed for the day I can be found on the ice in the winter or the golf course in the summer.
In addition to spending quality time with my family I am involved in the following organizations: Junior Achievement, Coalition on Aging, Member of the Sioux Falls and Rapid City Chamber of Commerce, Member of NAIFA, and the Humboldt American Legion.
Being a local resource for clients in the midwest is my goal.
