Pete Klingsmith

  I was born and raised in Gunnison, Co. 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 before being lucky enough to meet two friends who introduced me to the opportunity to open my own insurance agency.

  My wife Kimberly and I live in Gunnison with our two dogs, Phillip and Max; two cats, Kevin and Melissa and a turtle named Turtle. We enjoy many outdoor activities including hiking, fishing, hunting and golf. Being involved in my community is very important to me, so I also volunteer for the local fire department. I would love to get my private pilot's license one day. I love Basalt because it’s a small community with a big heart and I plan to raise my family here someday.  UPDATE: Kimberly and I just welcomed into the world our baby girl,  Kennedy Sue Klingsmith!  

  My office opened in 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 much more. We have a bilingual team member to help better serve our Spanish speaking customers.
