Lee D Kruse

Agent

Hello, I’m Lee Kruse, a financial professional with New York Life, proudly serving individuals, families, and businesses throughout our community. I grew up in Wessington Springs, South Dakota, where I learned the value of hard work, integrity, and community — principles that continue to guide me every day.

For the past 17 years, Rapid City has been home, and I’ve been fortunate to build strong, lasting relationships here. Before joining the financial services industry, I spent 17 years in retail management and 7 years in construction management — experiences that taught me leadership, problem-solving, and the importance of personal service.

Now, as part of New York Life, I’m focused on helping clients build, protect, and preserve their financial futures. Whether it’s creating a foundation for your family, planning for retirement, or leaving a meaningful legacy, my goal is to understand what truly matters to you and create strategies that bring you peace of mind and long-term security.

My wife and I have been married for nearly 25 years, and we’re raising three amazing children. Family is at the heart of everything I do — it’s what drives my passion for helping others protect what matters most in their lives.

I’m excited to work with you and look forward to learning about your goals, supporting you, and helping you create a strong financial foundation for the future.
