Jege studied Grammar school in Kezmarok, Ruzomberok and Levoca, and after his final exams in 1883, went away to Prague to study medicine. As a general practitioner he settled in Dolny Kubin where he also spent most of his live. In 1891, Jege became a regional doctor and a 1920 candidate for the Slovak National Party. Between 1918-22 he was the assistant editor and later an editor of the newspaper Our Orava, and from 1923-25 the editor of the Orava newspaper. At the end of 1926, Jege became a medical consultant, finished with his role as a regional doctor, and started to concentrate more on his writing.

Under the name of Dr. Jan Grob he wrote a series of humorist sketches for the National Newspaper and the newspaper "Slovenske pohlady", such as "Joke", "Science", "Cure", "Mistake", the novel "Advantages of the social life" and others.

The main importance of Jege's work is that it helps to uncover the hidden sides of the society in the first half of the 20th century.
