Ken Petersen

Welcome to the Ken Petersen State Farm Agent office in Burlington, IA! My journey to becoming a State Farm agent has been guided by a lifelong commitment to serving others. From my time in the Marine Corps Infantry to a decade in law enforcement, I have always prioritized helping people and putting their needs first. Becoming an agent has given me the opportunity to carry on that mission, supporting Good Neighbors as they protect what matters most in their lives and plan for a brighter future.

We’re honored to serve all of Iowa, including Keokuk, Mount Pleasant, and Mediapolis. Whether you're looking for Auto Insurance to stay protected on the road or Home and Renters Insurance to help safeguard your space, we’re here to help. We also provide Life Insurance options to help support your family’s future, along with Condo and Pet Insurance options to support other aspects of your life. Whatever your situation, we’re committed to offering thoughtful guidance and personalized service.

Our team is the heart of our office, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their compassion, dedication, and care. Together, we prioritize building genuine connections with our customers and strive to make the insurance process straightforward and stress-free. With years of combined experience, we’re here to guide you, answer your questions, and help you navigate your coverage choices.

Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my beautiful wife and our three amazing boys. My wife works alongside me in the office, keeping everything running smoothly—without her, I’d be lost. Our oldest is incredibly artistic, loves music, runs cross country, and plays soccer. Our middle son is full of energy, loves sports, and is a total goofball, while our youngest is our wild child with a bold personality who often runs the show. In my spare time, I enjoy exercising, hunting, and getting out on the golf course. Giving back to the community is also very important to me, and I’m proud to support local organizations through volunteering.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. We invite you to drop by or give us a call today—we look forward to working with you!
