Bollinsure is an independent California insurance broker. We're not owned by any carrier. We compare 350+ options and recommend what's right for you β personal, commercial, and everything in between.
Our Story
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 β learning the industry from the ground up at the state's largest public insurer before going independent.
His son Brian Bollinger brought a different lens. With a Cal Poly engineering background and a Pepperdine MBA, Brian joined the business and grew it into what Bollinsure is today β a full-service independent brokerage covering personal and commercial lines across all of California with access to over 350 carriers.
Brian's son and Bill's GrandsonAaron Bollinger represents the third generation. A UCLA Business Economics graduate who was licensed at 18, Aaron leads home insurance, auto insurance, and umbrella coverage for California clients.
The Team
You'll talk to one of us β not a call center. Every Bollinsure client gets direct access to someone who knows their policy inside and out.
Brian leads Bollinsure's commercial lines practice and handles complex, hard-to-place risks across workers' compensation, general liability, commercial property, and specialty lines. With an engineering background from Cal Poly and an MBA from Pepperdine, he brings an analytical framework to insurance placement that produces better outcomes for clients with complex exposures. Brian personally manages Bollinsure's most difficult commercial accounts and is the first call for any risk that requires creative market placement.
Aaron runs Bollinsure's personal lines practice β home, auto, umbrella, and high net worth. He was licensed at 18 and has spent his career building deep expertise in the coverages California homeowners and drivers actually need. His UCLA Business Economics education gives him an analytical approach to coverage gaps and carrier selection. Aaron is particularly strong on California wildfire-zone home coverage, E&S placement for homes dropped by admitted carriers, and structuring complete personal insurance programs for high-net-worth clients through Chubb and PURE.
Bill Bollinger is the foundation of everything Bollinsure is built on. He began his insurance career in the 1960s with the California State Compensation Insurance Fund β the state's largest workers' compensation insurer β where he developed deep expertise in California labor law, risk management, and workers' compensation that few practitioners can match. After decades with the State Fund, Bill went independent and built the practice that would become Bollinsure. His knowledge of California's unique insurance environment, carriers, and regulatory landscape set the standard the whole team operates by today.
Being independent means we're contractually obligated to no carrier. We compare, advise, and place β in your interest, not a carrier's quarterly quota.
Captive agents are employed by or contracted exclusively to one insurance company. They can only offer that carrier's products β regardless of whether it's the best fit.
As an independent broker, we represent you β not any carrier. We have appointment with 350+ admitted and E&S carriers and choose based entirely on what's right for your situation.
How We Work
Before recommending anything, we review your current coverage β and look for what's missing. Most clients we meet are underinsured, overpaying, or both. We find out which before we give any advice.
Our compensation structure is transparent. We earn commissions from carriers β and those commissions don't vary based on which carrier we place you with. We have no financial reason to recommend anything but the best fit.
When you call Bollinsure, you reach Brian, Aaron, or Julie β not a call center. Your policies are managed by someone who knows your situation and can act on it immediately.
Most brokers place a policy and disappear. We review your coverage at every renewal, benchmark your pricing against the current market, and proactively flag any changes in your exposure that might require adjustments.
When a claim happens, we're in your corner. We help you understand your rights, navigate the process, and when needed, advocate with the carrier to get the outcome you're entitled to.
We are California specialists. We don't try to cover 50 states with generic advice. California's wildfire environment, workers' comp system, AB5 labor law, and litigation climate all require knowledge that only comes from years of in-state experience.

We are California specialists. Whether you're in a wildfire-zone hillside in Malibu, an industrial park in the Inland Empire, or a tech office in Silicon Valley β we know the local market.
