About Us

Our Story

Mana Insurance Solutions opened its doors after the Lahaina wildfires, when families and businesses across Maui needed real support and too little of it was arriving. We became a full-service life and health agency for one simple reason: our communities deserved a team that would actually show up.

Our founder, Chris Branson, brings 25 years of insurance experience to that mission, shaped by years leading organizations for Fortune 500 companies throughout California and Hawaiʻi. What started as a small, local agency has grown into an extended ʻOhana of more than 120 producers and agency owners across every island, and now reaching into several mainland states.

What drives us

We're committed to bringing more top-quality insurance carriers into Hawaiʻi, because more options mean stronger benefits and better prices for the people we serve: families, 1099 and self-employed workers, and local businesses. Every recommendation starts with your situation, not a sales quota. Our goal is simple: stronger coverage and real savings, wherever we can find them for you.

Our reputation and 5-star service are the driving force behind our growth. Nearly all of our business comes by word of mouth, and that only happens one way: by fighting to earn your business, and then working just as hard to keep it, year after year.

The best part? It costs you nothing.

There is never a fee to use our services and support. We're paid by the carriers, not by you, and your price is the same either way. So let us learn about your situation and do the heavy lifting. You get honest guidance, stronger options, and an ʻohana in your corner. That's a win-win, and it's what kōkua is all about.

Our community, our ʻohana
