Kari Bauman

Welcome to the Kari Bauman State Farm Agency! I’m proud to serve the Pierre community and surrounding areas with insurance guidance that’s personal, friendly, and built on long‐standing relationships. I grew up in Ord, Nebraska, and moved to the Pierre area in 2003. Since then, this community has truly become home. I bring 24 years of experience with State Farm to my work and take great pride in providing remarkable customer service to the people and families who work with us everyday.

Family is a big part of who I am. My husband Richard and I have two boys, Izaak and Eli, and when we’re not busy with work or school activities, we enjoy traveling, camping, and spending time together. That family‐first mindset carries directly into how our office operates. We understand how important it is to feel supported, listened to, and confident in the coverage you choose.

Our Bauman team includes four knowledgeable team members, and together we bring over 28 years of combined experience. We’re here to help with Auto, Homeowners, Renters, Life, and Health insurance, along with Condo, Personal Articles, Business, Pet, and Banking services. Whether you’re reviewing existing coverage, preparing ahead, or just have a question, we take the time to explain your options clearly and help you make decisions that fit your life.

We truly enjoy connecting with our customers. If you ever want to stop by, ask a question, or just say hello, our door is always open. You might even get to enjoy a cup of coffee or spend a few minutes with our office dog, Watson, who’s always happy to make new friends. Creating a welcoming, comfortable experience is important to us, because insurance should feel approachable, not intimidating. If you’re looking for a local insurance team in Pierre that values experience, relationships, and genuine care, I invite you to call or stop in so we can help you protect what matters most.
