Abbe Sultan and Michael Pallas met in the Bay Area of California where they were both born and raised. They shared mutual friends and had many interests in common, including a passion for soccer, traveling, as well as entrepreneurship. The college years took Michael to UC Davis and Abbe to Sacramento State.
After starting small business in college, both Abbe and Michael joined the insurance industry. Abbe joined Farmers Insurance while Michael worked with Liberty Mutual. After gaining valuable industry experience, Abbe and Michael decided that they wanted to help their clients with all of their insurance needs. The best way to achieve this was to open an insurance brokerage offering all lines of insurance while providing superior service.
Stone Creek Insurance Agency was conceptualized during the spring and summer of 2006. After thorough planning, Incorporation was completed in August of 2007.

“I’ve had the pleasure of growing up in the Bay Area. While raised in the East Bay, I’ve worked across the Bay Area, from the Peninsula to the Silicon Valley with some of the best clients. The success of my business began with Real Estate, where I learned some of the most important lessons. One of which is to always look after your client.
As a Broker, I represent the client, not the carrier. I have access to a wealth of different carriers that offer various products. Every carrier rates each individual uniquely, so what you may think is the best carrier for you, may not always be true. I will shop each carrier to ensure that you are receiving the proper coverage to meet your needs, at the best premium available. I will take the time to explain the benefits and risks of different products, so you have the knowledge to make an informed decision. And because I value my clients, I will follow up and keep in touch as your life is growing and changing, to assure that your insurance is keeping up to always meet your needs. “

“I grew up in the city of Alameda and have now lived in the nearby town of Moraga for over 12 years with my wife and two boys. I am an active leader in Scouting, both in my sons unit and on a District level. This gives the three men in the house a great deal of pride and camaraderie.
As a prior business owner, I understand many of the challenges facing today’s entrepreneurs. And, as a member of the local community, I understand the many challenges that families face.
I look forward to the opportunity to join your circle of trusted professionals.”
