Ryan-Dittmann Insurance

About

History

Ryan-Dittmann Insurance was formed in 2025 through the strategic merger of two long-established Pittsburg, Kansas agencies each built on deep community roots and generational leadership. Dittmann established in 1946 and Ryan in 1969, the agency’s history reflects a legacy of continuity and trust, shaped by leaders whose relationships extended beyond business and into family. The management transitions from Ray “Pinky” Ryan to Wally Wilson, and Bob Dittmann to Kip Bollinger, reflects a thoughtful passing of responsibility that preserved institutional knowledge, client relationships, and service standards. Together, these leaders have helped guide their respective agencies through decades of growth while preserving the values that earned the trust of the community.

Today, under the combined leadership of Wilson and Bollinger, the agency continues to flourish and expand its presence in the community with now 15 dedicated employees, representing 30 carriers and 100+ brokerages. Ryan-Dittmann Insurance stands as the premier agency in Southeast Kansas, renowned for its adaptability and commitment to meeting clients’ diverse needs. Whether it’s standard insurance policies, large aggregate/stop-loss programs, owner-controlled construction wrap-ups, individual captives, group captives, or full self-insurance, the agency prides itself on offering knowledgeable and professional solutions tailored to each client’s unique situation.

Having been a cornerstone of the Pittsburg community for over 60 years, Ryan-Dittmann Insurance remains steadfast in its dedication to the area and is committed to carry on a valued legacy.
