As the nationwide expert in all things reverse mortgages I partner with traditional loan officers, financial advisors, attorney and realtors with their reverse mortgage needs. In 2007 is when I had the opportunity to start in the Reverse Mortgage field. This has allowed me to have an impact on many seniors through the years. I help clients who are experiencing cash-flow issues and have saved homes from foreclosures and short sales by providing solutions using a reverse mortgage.
As the first Certified Reverse Mortgage Professional (CRMP) who is located in SD and who will travel as needed to serve the needs of my clients this has allowed me to exceed the expectations of my clients. I have even went to Tennessee to meet with a client in the past.
As I work with clients a question that I ask is, "Is your goal to preserve cash-flow/income or equity in retirement?" Based on their answer I can educate potential clients and their families on how a reverse mortgage could fit their needs in retirement. I have financial advisors, bankers, and others throughout the United States who ask for my guidance and expertise when they are planning for their clients.
With the opportunity to help clients across the United States I have become a subject matter expert for many financial advisors and their networks. I have been a speaker at various organizations from senior centers, NAIFA events in South Dakota, to home shows throughout the region.
Being a veteran of the United States Army as a member of the South Dakota Army National Guard as a medic I take great pride in helping veterans and their family members. As a member of the American Legion for many years I am available as a resource when needed. Coffee is always on if you are a veteran coming through my area.
Many individuals also know me as the "Flagman" as I have a goal to complete a half-marathon in all 50 states carrying an American Flag, If you would like to join me at an event please send me message. I will even have an American Flag for you.
I am currently with University Bank which is a federally chartered bank which allows me to originate loans across the United States.
If you have any questions if a reverse mortgage may be a fit for you or clients feel free to call me on my cell phone 605-941-7029.

The reverse mortgage is a powerful tool for Seniors to take advantage of. One of the most important steps a Senior can make when investigating the reverse program is to work with someone that is knowledgeable. Jake is one of top advisers in his field.
