Jake Plagge is a producer/underwriter with RPS. A generalist in his field, he underwrites casualty, property, environmental and professional risks. From small BOP to large brokerage accounts, his retailers know they can count on his expertise for any risks, no matter the size, which is why he averages almost 200 applications per month.
Plagge’s insurance career began with RPS in 2015 as an assistant underwriter, a role where he quickly learned the ins and outs of insurance processing, forms and coverages. It did not take long for him to advance into his role as producer/underwriter and continue to grow by taking on mentorship, coaching and training opportunities on his team. He has contributed to helping others grow in their insurance careers by coordinating his office’s internship program. From recruiting students to training to day-to-day leadership, Plagge has been instrumental in the success of the internship program. He also enjoys visiting area college business classes to share about insurance careers, and is a go-to resource on his team for training and developing new hires.
He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Business and Finance from Iowa State University and is the proud father of baby Hallie who was born in May 2022.
