Simple Plans. Local Company. BIG Heart.

Who We Are

Welcome to Burgmann Insurance Group, your trusted local source for Medicare, Life Insurance, and Retirement planning solutions.

Based in O’Fallon, Illinois, we are an independent insurance agency dedicated to helping individuals, families, and seniors make confident coverage decisions. Because we’re independent, we work for you — not the insurance companies. That means you get clear, honest guidance and the best plan for your specific needs and budget.

At Burgmann Insurance Group, our mission is simple:

To educate, protect, and empower our community with insurance solutions that bring peace of mind.

Our Story

Burgmann Insurance Group was founded by Jon Burgmann, an experienced insurance professional who built his business on integrity, compassion, and community values.

After years in the industry, Jon realized that many people were being sold products they didn’t fully understand. He set out to change that — creating a company that focuses on education first, not sales.

"I believe in helping clients understand their options so they can make the right decision — not just the easy one."

— Jon Burgmann, Founder

Today, Jon and his team proudly serve clients across Illinois and multiple other states, providing personalized guidance and dependable protection for every stage of life.

Jay Burgmann

Twice in the 90s, I almost became an insurance agent, but it didn’t feel right. Instead, I had a great marketing career working for two national franchise businesses until late 2017. I spent a few years as a marketing consultant until the COVID-19 pandemic crushed that. Then, I decided to join my brother in his insurance business. Now, I work with clients in line with my convictions and feel great about helping people understand the complexities of Medicare and Marketplace insurance. I look forward to helping you.

I have been happily married to my lovely wife Betty since 1990. We have two offspring who are now off on their own adventures. Melody is a music teacher in Belleville, and Josh is a production manager for one of the largest lighting and sound companies in Chicago.

In my spare time, I enjoy painting and leather work, and with Betty, we enjoy photography. Being empty nesters allows us to spread our wings and have a lot of fun.
