Bo Shantz

Hi, I'm Bo Shantz. I've been a State Farm Agent since 1992 and have proudly raised my family in Cape Girardeau, MO. Being part of this community has always meant a great deal to me, and over the years I've had the opportunity to serve on the Cape Girardeau Chamber of Commerce Board, the Cape Girardeau Airport Board, and the Cape Girardeau Compliance Board. I've also been a member of Lynwood since 1993, allowing me to build lasting relationships with local families, neighbors, and fellow community members.

Before entering the insurance industry, I earned an Education Degree from the University of Arkansas and was a member of the Razorback Football Team from 1978-1982. Today, I draw on that experience, along with more than three decades as an agent, to help individuals, families, and business owners with Auto Insurance, Homeowners Insurance, Renters Insurance, Business Insurance, Life Insurance, Health Insurance, and Pet Insurance. Whether you're protecting your home, your vehicles, your business, or the people who matter most, I'm committed to helping you make informed coverage decisions. Stop by or give me a call to see how I can help.
