State Farm® Insurance Agent Pete Klingsmith

I was born and raised in Gunnison. After graduating from Gunnison High School. I spent two years at the New Mexico Military Institute where I received an Associate's degree in business. I finished my Bachelor's degree in business management at Metro State University in Denver in 2008. I also played varsity baseball for 4 years. I had been working in the financial industry since my graduation from Metro. I opened my first State Farm office in 2018.

Myself, my wife Kimberly, our 3 year old daughter Kennedy Sue, our two dogs, Phillip and Max, three cats, Kevin, Melissa, and Ruthie, and our turtle named Turtle moved back to Gunnison in July 2021. We enjoy many outdoor activities including hiking, fishing, hunting and golf. Being involved in my community is very important to me, that is why I am a volunteer firefighter with Gunnison Volunteer Fire Department. I would love to get my private pilot's license one day. I love Gunnison because it’s a small community with a big heart!

My Gunnison office opened in August of 2021 and we are proud to serve Gunnison, Crested Butte, Mt. Crested Butte, Lake City and the surrounding areas with their insurance needs. We are here to help with all our customer's insurance needs, including auto insurance, homeowner's insurance, renter's insurance, life insurance, business/commercial insurance, and more!

It’s back to school time in Gunnison and Crested Butte! While the kids meet their new teachers, you can meet with your insurance agent! Now is a good time to make sure you have all your insurance and financial needs covered. We offer phone, virtual and in-person appointments.
