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!

Ah, December—the month of twinkling lights, cozy sweaters, and enough hot cocoa to fill a small lake. Before you get too busy decking the halls and dodging fruitcake, here’s a little friendly reminder about insurance. But don’t worry, we’ll keep it light and festive!

• Home Sweet (Wintery) Home: Snow, ice, and the occasional rogue icicle are nature’s way of reminding us that winter is here. While you’re busy hanging mistletoe, it’s a good idea to glance at your home coverage—just in case your roof decides to take a break from all that snow.

• Holiday Road Warriors: Whether you’re heading to grandma’s house or chasing after last-minute gifts, remember your car is working overtime. Make sure your coverage isn’t snoozing through the season. Bonus points if you’ve got roadside assistance—because no one wants to be the star of a winter roadside drama!

• Gifts Galore: That shiny new gadget or sparkling jewelry? Your insurance might already have it covered, but if you’re stacking up more treasures than Santa’s workshop, a quick check won’t hurt. After all, ‘tis the season to be careful!

But beyond all the policies and paperwork, December is really about the people we love and the memories we make. So while it’s smart to keep your insurance in mind, don’t forget to slow down, laugh loudly, and enjoy the magic of the season.

From all of us here, happy holidays—and may your days be merry, bright, and well-insured (just in case)!
