Two careers. One mission. Protecting the families and businesses of Orange County with the depth of experience and personal attention they deserve.
Arens Insurance Services was founded on a simple observation: most people don't have an insurance advisor — they have a salesperson. There's a real difference. An advisor gets to know your situation, asks the questions that matter, and recommends what actually fits. A salesperson sells what's convenient.
Sean and Lisa Arens built this agency to be the former. After decades in the industry, Lisa brings the kind of experience that makes the difference when a claim needs to be filed or a confusing policy needs plain-English translation. Sean brings operational precision and sales leadership — the systems behind the service.
Together, they've created an agency that's small enough to know every client's name and experienced enough to handle any coverage situation. Based in Huntington Beach, serving Orange County and beyond.

Lisa Arens brings more than 35 years of professional experience to every client conversation. She grew up in Anaheim and spent over three decades as a travel agent at Now Voyager Travel in Huntington Beach, where she built her career on the principle that every client deserves genuine advice, not just a transaction.
When she transitioned to insurance with Aflac in 2015, she brought that same philosophy with her: understand what each person actually needs before recommending anything.
"Having a career that combines my professional knowledge with communicating socially with people is a huge plus to me," Lisa says. That's not marketing copy — it's how she's operated for three decades.
Lisa's career is the foundation of Arens Insurance Services. Her 30+ years in the travel industry gave her deep expertise in client relationships, attention to detail, and navigating complex options on someone else's behalf — skills that translate directly to insurance advising. Since joining Aflac in 2015, she's built that same trust with insurance clients across Orange County.
Born and raised in Anaheim, Lisa has deep roots in the Orange County community she continues to serve today.
Built a career as a travel agent at Now Voyager Travel in Huntington Beach, developing the client-first approach and relationship skills she still uses today.
Transitioned from travel to insurance, bringing three decades of client service expertise to the supplemental and voluntary benefits space.
Joined Sean to build a family-owned agency with the depth to handle complex situations and the personal service of a boutique practice.
Sean Arens has an unusual background for an insurance professional: before entering the industry, he spent years in aerospace manufacturing as a Production Manager at Zodiac Aerospace — a business where precision isn't optional and failure has real consequences.
He took that operational discipline into insurance, spending over a decade with Aflac (including as a District Sales Coordinator) and later as VP of Sales at Opportunity Insurance Agency before committing fully to Arens Insurance Services in 2025.
"This is how we provide for our family, while protecting yours." That's Sean's philosophy in one sentence — and it drives how he works with every client and employer partner.
What makes Sean unusual in the insurance world isn't just his sales leadership experience — it's the decade he spent before insurance, at Zodiac Aerospace, turning around a production line that was failing by nearly every measure.
That experience shapes how he approaches client work: systematically, with accountability for results, and with a focus on making things that work well, consistently.
