Our story

Built for California business owners.

Glacier Point Insurance Services was founded in 2022 by Dennis Stefanitsis as an independent brokerage for California business owners who need clear insurance guidance.

Dennis brings more than 20 years of property-casualty experience across carrier underwriting and client-side risk management. His background includes underwriting at Liberty Mutual and CNA, and managing risk programs for companies such as Uber and Airbnb.

That mix shapes the way Glacier Point works: review the insurance language in leases and policies, explain the tradeoffs in plain terms, and place coverage without being tied to one carrier. The firm is California-first and licensed in California, New Jersey, and Nevada.

Who we help

The businesses we know best.

Contractors & trades

General liability and workers' comp built around CSLB requirements and the additional-insured and certificate demands general contractors put on you — for general building and the specialty trades.

Restaurants & bars

Liquor liability and dram shop, the insurance requirements written into your lease, and coverage for concepts — from full bars to late-night venues — that standard carriers hesitate to write.

Trucking & transportation

Commercial auto and motor-carrier coverage for small and mid-size fleets, structured to the filings and contract requirements you actually have to meet.

Hard-to-place & E&S risks

When admitted carriers decline or exclude what you need, Glacier Point works the surplus-lines market — subject to California's diligent-search requirement — to structure coverage that fits.

How Glacier Point works

Independent placement

Glacier Point is not tied to one carrier. The firm reviews admitted and surplus-lines options when appropriate, then recommends a structure based on the business and its requirements.

Direct principal access

Clients work directly with Dennis, not a service center or a producer-to-CSR handoff. Existing client COI requests receive same-business-day turnaround.

Plain-spoken review

Glacier Point reads the insurance language in leases and policies closely, then explains the practical effect in words you can actually use.

Talk directly with the broker who handles your account.

No service-center hand-off. Your account is handled by the licensed broker who placed it. And once you're a client, certificates of insurance turn around same day or next business day.

Helpful to have on hand: current policies, loss runs, and payroll or revenue figures.
