About Gateway Insurance Agency

Our Story, Values & Team

Proudly rooted in North Dakota, Gateway Insurance combines small-town service with big-agency resources to protect what matters most.

A Family-Grown Agency Serving North Dakota Since 1989

What began as Bowerman Insurance in Steele, ND, grew from a one-location, family-run agency into a network that supports clients across central North Dakota. In 2006, Gateway Insurance opened in Bismarck to expand this mission, bringing friendly, personalized service and a wider selection of carriers to more neighbors than ever. Our team's nearly 100 years of combined experience means you get real answers, not one-size-fits-all solutions. With deep community roots and two convenient offices, we make it easy to get coverage built for North Dakota life.

Our mission is to provide honest, reliable insurance solutions that put people first-so every client feels seen, supported, and secure, no matter what life brings.
