Trevor Schuurmans
General Manager
Born and raised on a farm near Tyndall, South Dakota, I’ve always believed in the value of hard work and community. After graduating from Bon Homme High School in 2007, I pursued higher education at The University of South Dakota, earning both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Business Administration and Healthcare Administration.
Since 2012, I’ve been managing insurance agencies with a focus on building lasting relationships and providing trusted guidance. I hold licenses in both property/casualty and life/health insurance, and I take pride in helping clients find solutions that protect what matters most.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Alyssa, and our two wonderful kids. We love traveling, hunting, camping, and staying active through recreational sports. These experiences keep me grounded and motivated—both personally and professionally.
