Keith Valentine

With more than 25 years in banking and finance, Keith brings a depth of experience that goes well beyond traditional lending. His career has spanned wealth management, commercial lending, mortgage lending, and construction financing, giving him a unique ability to look at the whole picture—not just the numbers on an application. He believes the best lending solutions start with understanding the person, the goal, and the story behind them.

A Montana native, Keith grew up in Central Montana in a farming and ranching family, where hard work, relationships, and community were simply part of life. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Business Finance and Marketing from Montana State University, with a minor in Accounting, and later graduated with honors from the Graduate School of Banking in Colorado.

Keith has also invested deeply in the Montana communities he calls home. He is an alumnus of Leadership Montana and its Master Class, as well as Leadership Flathead—experiences that have strengthened both his leadership and his connection to the people and communities he serves.

When he’s not working, Keith is happiest outside with his wife, Renée, and his two sons. Whether they’re camping, fishing, rafting, biking, skiing, or heading off on their next adventure, the Valentine family takes full advantage of having the mountains of the Flathead Valley right outside their back door.
