If you have exposure or assets in these states you need to work with an agent that can handle all of your business. So, if you have a second home or conduct business in other Western states. Give Kelly a call.

​KENDALL MASSIE

AGENT/VICE PRESIDENT

Kendall began his career in 2009 after 15 years in the industrial controls division of a large electrical company. With the help of Montana First Insurance, he started Washington First Insurance, which is still growing today. His background in construction and years of life experience have made the transition to insurance an easy fit. He recently moved his family from Washington to Montana at the request of the ownership of the agencies.
