Our Story
Started in the 1960s. Still family. Still independent.
It started with Bill Bollinger and the California State Compensation Insurance Fund in the 1960s. For decades, he built expertise in California workers compensation and commercial insurance before going independent.
His son Brian Bollinger brought a different lens. With a Cal Poly SLO engineering background and a Pepperdine MBA, Brian grew Bollinsure into a full-service independent brokerage with access to more than 350 carrier markets.
Brian's son and Bill's grandson Aaron Bollinger represents the third generation. A UCLA Business Economics student licensed at 18, Aaron works with California clients on home insurance, auto insurance, umbrella, and high net worth personal lines programs.
Brian Bollinger
Second generation, principal broker. Leads commercial lines, complex accounts, workers compensation, general liability, commercial property, and specialty placements.
Aaron Bollinger
Third generation, personal lines specialist. Handles home, auto, umbrella, wildfire-zone homes, E&S placement, and high net worth personal insurance programs.

Why It Matters
Independent vs captive insurance agents
Being independent means Bollinsure is not contractually tied to one carrier. We compare, advise, and place coverage in your interest.
Captive agent
Captive agents work with one insurance company and can only offer that carrier's products.
- One carrier's products available
- Limited ability to shop when rates increase
- No broad E&S access for declined or complex risks
- Recommendations constrained by one product menu
Bollinsure independent broker
As an independent broker, Bollinsure compares admitted and E&S markets based on the client's risk and coverage needs.
- Access to 350+ carrier markets
- Market comparison at renewal
- E&S access for wildfire-zone homes and hard-to-place risks
- Advice driven by your coverage needs
- Chubb
- PURE
- The Hartford
- Travelers
- ICW Group
- AmTrust
- Markel
- Blue Shield CA
- Kaiser Permanente
- AIG
- Berkshire Hathaway
- Lloyds of London
- Zurich
- and 330+ more
How We Work
The way we approach every client relationship
We review before we recommend
Before recommending anything, we review your current coverage, identify gaps, and compare the market.
We work for you, not carriers
We earn commissions from carriers, but we are not owned by one carrier and we compare options based on fit.
Direct access, always
When you call Bollinsure, you reach Brian, Aaron, or Julie, not a call center.
We show up at renewal
We review coverage at renewal, benchmark pricing, and flag exposure changes that may require adjustments.
We handle claims advocacy
When a claim happens, we help you understand the process and advocate with the carrier when needed.
California expertise only
California wildfire, workers compensation, AB5 labor law, and litigation risk require in-state experience.
