Bruce Kitterman

I was born in Northern Minnesota and spent the majority of my childhood in the farm country of Western Minnesota. While in college at North Dakota State, I spent every summer working in Keystone, SD and fell in love with the Black Hills area. I moved to Rapid City permanently in 2021 and began my career in the tourism industry. Through that experience, I grew a great appreciation for the Black Hills and the communities within.

Living roughly 600 miles from most of my family, my friends are some of the most important people in my life and I spend much of my free time with them. I love the outdoors and spend as much time as I can doing anything outside. I enjoy everything football, disc golfing, hiking, and traveling.

After going through a severe injury myself, I quickly came to realize the importance of quality insurance and the life-saving difference it can make in an individual’s life. After that experience, a career in insurance just made sense for me. I have always been passionate about helping people and meeting new people in the community, and at Kitterman State Farm, I am able to do just that. It is a privilege to be a part of this team and to be in a position that allows me to service the awesome people of Rapid City and all of South Dakota.

Growing up in Sturgis, South Dakota, I always dreamed of exploring different parts of the United States. After graduating college, my fiancé and I embarked on a journey, living in South Carolina and Florida while I worked as a Power Lineman. Seeking a career change, we returned to South Dakota, where I pursued my passion for helping people through real estate and eventually transitioned into insurance at Kitterman State Farm.

In my free time, I relish outdoor activities, fitness routines, and quality moments with my fiancé and our dogs. Whether at lakes or beaches, I find joy in swimming, hiking, and simply appreciating the scenery. The gym has been a consistent part of my adult life, contributing to my well-being. Traveling is a shared passion, with plans to explore a new country every year. Amidst all these pursuits, spending time with my fiancé and dogs remains my favorite, something I eagerly anticipate every day.

I was born and raised in Indiana, where I lived the first 24 years of my life before getting married. My first marriage was to a member of the military which allowed me to see a lot of this beautiful country. I have lived in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. My favorite was North Carolina. Of all the places I visited, I loved Wilmington most because of the beautiful beaches.

Eventually, my two boys and I moved back to Indiana where I currently live with my partner of the last two years. The boys are in taekwondo and that keeps all of us busy. I even participate sometimes! When we’re not taking each other down on a taekwondo mat, we like to play board games and enjoy movie nights as a family. Our family is rounded out by our dog Keano and our cat Arlo, who’s black and white, and looks like he’s wearing a permanent tuxedo.

I started with State Farm in July of 2023. I worked in my first office for about a month before the agent was promoted within State Farm and moved to another state. After abruptly losing my childcare, I needed something with more flexibility to be able to be home with the kids before and after school. The State Farm opportunity has provided me to work in a remote position with multiple agents in a support role specializing in helping customers. I currently work part time in four different offices across Indiana, South Dakota, Wyoming, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. I am excited to be part of Kitterman State Farm!

I have worked in Customer Service since I was 15. I enjoy helping people and look forward to continuing that mission with Kitterman State Farm. I also love the outdoors, as long as the weather cooperates, spending time with my family and video games.

I was born in Sturgis, SD where I spent half of my childhood before moving to Gillette, WY. After finishing high school, I moved back to Rapid City in 2014. Growing up, I spent a lot of time with my aunt, who was a foster parent, which inspired me to follow in her footsteps. I currently have two amazing foster kiddos, a 5-year-old Dogue de Bordeaux and an 11-year-old cat.

Throughout my professional career, I have worked in some form of Customer Service. In fact, I have enjoyed a working with customers since entering the work force at 15 years old. I get great joy from helping people any time I can. I look forward to continuing that mission with Kitterman State Farm. When I am not working hard to help others both personally and professionally, I greatly enjoy the outdoors (as long as the South Dakota weather cooperates!). Also, I always love spending time with my family and my favorite video games.
