Branch Benefits Consultants with Rachel Rizzi, VP Sales and Marketing and Rena Trodick, Cannabis Insurance Sales Executive. Like many independent insurance agencies, the story of Branch Benefits Consultants begins with a seed planted generations before its current stature. In the wake of his father’s passing, Aubrey Branch discovered first-hand the impact that proper life insurance, or lack thereof, can have on a family when it is needed most, particularly in the African American community. He spent the next decade dedicated to helping as many families as possible to ensure their protection through the placement of life insurance.
