Shan Kuntz

I’m Shan Kuntz, and I’m proud to serve Forsyth, Colstrip, and the surrounding communities with insurance and financial services rooted in long‐standing local experience. We are the only insurance provider with office locations at 933 Main in Forsyth and 6216 Main in Colstrip, which allows my team and me to stay closely connected to the people and businesses we serve.

I was born and raised in rural Eastern Montana and graduated from MSU‐Billings with a B.S. in Finance. I joined State Farm in 1989, and after years of promotions and moves, I made the decision in 2007 to return home to Montana and take over the State Farm agencies in Forsyth and Colstrip. My wife and I have three children, and our family truly values Eastern Montana’s wide‐open spaces and the steady, close‐knit pace of life that defines this area.

What I enjoy most about this work is helping people make confident decisions around Auto Insurance, Home Insurance, Life Insurance, and Business Insurance, especially in a rural setting where those choices can have a real impact. I understand the vital role small businesses play in communities like ours, and I’m committed to making sure my business and employees support the places where we live and work. If you’d like to talk through your insurance or financial services needs, I invite you to stop by one of our offices or connect with me directly!
