About Us

Company History

 

You might say that insurance found Gena Gaub, owner, and founder of Rocky Mountain Insurance Group (RMIG). In 1994 while working for a corporate agency in Billings, the phone rang, and one person needed help desperately. Hearing the confusion and frustration in that one voice spurred Gena to dig in to help. She listened, and problem solved like no one else in the industry was, stepping up to help as her Dad had taught and modeled for her growing up in Eastern Montana. That one call turned into another and another, leading Gaub to strike out on her own to open RMIG in Billings in 2000. RMIG hit the ground running, providing clients with right-sized health and life insurance solutions; born out of a fierce commitment to exceptional client outcomes. RMIG grew through word of mouth and reputation based on the firm values of honesty, loyalty, trust, and hard work.

2004 saw changes for RMIG, including a move in headquarters to the Gallatin Valley, where it has steadily grown into the company we are today— continuing to deliver exceptional client outcomes. We constantly challenge ourselves to learn from and work with our clients to find creative and innovative ways to provide insurance solutions. We are proud to have agents serving in Big Sky, Bozeman, and Helena areas. We are grateful to work with people from all over our state and very proud of our team.

It started simple at Rocky Mountain Insurance Group and is still simple today: work hard and be nice.

 

Our Team

 
 

Gena Gaub - Broker/Owner & Founder

Upon your first meeting with Gena Gaub, owner and founder of Rocky Mountain Insurance Group, it may feel as though you’ve known her for years. Gena’s passion for her clients’ well-being builds on her intimate knowledge of the insurance industry to give each interaction a sense of authenticity and trust unique to Rocky Mountain Insurance Group.

  • A third-generation Montanan, Gena grew up in Miles City, where community and hard work define the shared local values. Since 1994, after graduating with a degree in Marketing from Montana State University-Billings, Gena has spent her time helping Montanans take care of their business, personal, and family health insurance needs. At the helm of Rocky Mountain Insurance Group, Gena has created an agency well known for its dedicated work ethic and long-term client relationships.

    Her model has never typified the big-business approach of fixating on company growth and constant expansion – instead of lines on a ledger sheet, she measures RMIG’s success by client satisfaction. As she puts it, “Our focus is on relationships, and always taking care of our own. Here, you’re considered more of a family member than a client. It’s been my experience than when you do right by people and always take care of them, business success comes naturally.”
