Ken Kneis

Hi! I'm Ken Kneis, your local State Farm Insurance Agent here in Bogota, New Jersey.

I’m a proud lifelong New Jersey resident and a graduate of Seton Hall University, where I earned my B.S. in Business Management. As a second-generation State Farm agent with over 31 years of experience — including 20 years as an agent — I’ve truly enjoyed every minute of helping protect the communities we serve. I first opened my office in Ridgefield Park in 2006 before moving to Bogota in 2014, right where Queen Anne Rd turns into Main St on the Ridgefield Park/Bogota border, just off Route 80. Your life is priceless, and my goal has always been to make sure you and your family feel confident knowing you’re properly protected. 🛡️💙

🍁Fall is here. As you take on your fall chores and getting your home ready for winter, don't forget to make sure that your insurance protection is up to date.

My approach is simple: friendly, old-fashioned service paired with the convenience of modern technology. I believe in taking the time to listen, explain things clearly, and make insurance feel straightforward — the way it should be. Whether we’re meeting in the office or at a time and location that works for you, my priority is making the process easy and comfortable.

When I’m not in the office, I’m usually spending time with my wife, Rosemarie, and our children, Matthew and Amanda. I also enjoy getting out on the golf course or tennis court when I can. I played college soccer, and then for many years in a men's league after graduating. I take pride in being actively involved in the local community, and one of the things I appreciate most about Bogota is its diversity and how local businesses come together to support one another.

Serving families and small business owners across Bergen, Passaic, Essex, and Hudson counties, as well as neighbors throughout New Jersey and New York, is something I never take for granted.

My experienced team and I are here to help you prepare for life’s unexpected moments with dependable Auto Insurance, Homeowners Insurance, Renters Insurance, and Life Insurance, along with a full range of financial services. Whether you're buying your first car, settling into a new home, or looking ahead to protect your family’s future, we’ll walk you through your options and help you choose coverage that fits your needs.

If you’re ready to start the conversation, stop by our Bogota office, give us a call, or reach out — we’re here to help you protect what you’ve worked so hard to build.

Ken is proud to serve the Bogota community.

Q: What is renters insurance?

A: Renters insurance is a simple way to help protect your personal belongings and provide liability coverage while you're renting.
