About Gartner Insurance
There are things that are essential in life like water in the desert. Having qualified insurance agents working hard for you is one of them.
Gartner Insurance began when Mark Gartner started his insurance career in Gallup, NM in 1989. In the beginning we only offered Health and Life Insurance products. Now we cover Personal and Commercial for both large and small companies, Health, Life, Property, Casualty, Excess, Surplus and Specialty.
We have expanded our product line to more than 30 types of insurance coverage. We have direct appointments with more than 50 major insurance companies.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide every customer, every business with affordable, high quality insurance products to meet a variety of needs. Gartner Insurance is committed to growing our customers' knowledge of insurance. We make education a priority and offer free individual or group training sessions to all of our customers.

Chris C. Gartner
I was born and raised in Gallup, NM. I spent more than 20 years away from here, much of it in Las Cruces, NM.
One of the reasons I returned to Gallup was to raise my youngest son Nicolas. I was granted custody of my son in 2008.
Chris has extensive experience in Management and Retail Sales. He spent years selling high end cooking and custom kitchen appliances. Audio surround sound and video systems are also something he particularly enjoys. He likes playing racquetball as well as going target shooting.
​
Several years ago he also took up droning and is the proud owner of a DJI Phantom 4 Professional drone. Some of his pictures can be seen on the Catalpa Hills website.
