Pete Peterson

Jake grew up in Faribault and spent his time playing every game he could, be that football, poker, or even monopoly. After high school he traveled the country as a missionary until he decided to go to the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota. There he graduated with a degree in Business Administration and a minor in Philosophy in three years.

After returning to the great state of Minnesota he decided to enter the insurance world because of its complex nature and a desire to help people. He knew he wanted to work for State Farm because of it’s incredible integrity, but he also loved the idea of being Jake from State Farm... Since landing at Pete’s agency he has been blown away by how much fun it is to help people and grow as an Insurance Agent. This role is combining his love of problem solving, talking to people, and working with incredible coworkers.

The life that people have built is something that should be cherished and protected. He is committed to helping people understand the inner workings of insurance and make sure that in your time of need we will be there to help out.

Nick is originally from IA, and grew up in a small town in the southwestern part of the state. After high school, despite numerous sabotage attempts by his mother, he enlisted in the United States Navy. He was attached to an F-14 squadron stationed in Virginia Beach, VA. After two deployments overseas, one sailing around the world, he enrolled in the Exercise Science program at Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, IA where he met his wife, and got married in 2005.

His wife is from Faribault so when she said, “we are moving to Minnesota!” Nick said, “Oh of course, yes dear!” They have two wonderful children Larina and Nash. Larina is very creative, loves to draw, and wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up. Nash has a wonderful heart, always the first to give out hugs, and unsupervised can destroy a room in less than 30 seconds. They are such a blessing, and they are excited to experience the coming years through their eyes.

As a veteran Nick values selfless service and applies that concept to help his customers. He always tries to put himself in other people’s shoes, take the time to ask questions, listen to learn, and earn your trust. His mission as a licensed insurance consultant is to ensure his customers, their family, and future is financially protected.

Amber grew up in a small town in New Jersey, with a small but very loving family. She lived there up until her junior year of high school when they moved to Florida to take care of her grandfather. She was a Girl Scout of 14 years, during which she learned many things that she holds dear to her heart, such as the value of friendship, kindness, and honesty. Most of her family members worked in factories right out of high school. From a very young age she's always wanted to make a difference and make her parents proud. She had great grades in school and loved mathematics and science, so she took a leap of faith and joined the United States Navy as a Nuclear Machinist Mate. She loved having the mental challenge of such a difficult job as well as being able to step outside of her family’s path and create her own.

She met her other half in Charleston, SC while they were both enlisted in the Navy. He must’ve fell in love with her Jersey accent as she fell for his Minnesota accent! When she was medically retired at the end of 2018, she moved to his hometown of Northfield, MN to start their lives together. Even though it’s a bit colder than she's used to, she's adjusting well! Although she is 1,000+ miles away from her family, she found a piece of home with the residents here as everyone is very welcoming. She was introduced to the insurance world by her mother-in-law who is a State Farm Claims Adjuster. At the time she was a preschool teacher to 2-3 year olds, but she knew it wasn’t her “forever job”… especially since she was so interested in the insurance world.

She loves her job with Pete Peterson State Farm because its core value is to help people. As a veteran, she values integrity and attention to detail. She was also trained to put others before herself, no matter what the situation is… no one is left behind. She intends to bring her values into her job by always being honest, kind, and helpful. She will try to ensure our customers are protected based on their needs, while also making sure they understand exactly what their insurance does for them. She is the helping hand in the office, and will be here for all of our customers concerns, questions, reminders, etc. Making a difference in our customer’s lives, even if it’s small, makes a huge difference in hers.
