About Gary Mcgovern
As a Financial Associate with Thrivent Financial, I am a Fraternal Insurance Counselor with Series 6 and 63 licenses. I am able to offer individuals, families, and businesses assistance with life, health, disability, and long-term solutions. I also offer mutual funds, annuities, and associated products. We help folks prepare for retirement, college planning, estate strategies, and education on financial products and services. I have been a Thrivent member for nearly 30 years. The opportunity to help Christians help themselves and others through education, strategic thinking, and living generously is truly exciting each and every day. I have been blessed to be born and raised in the Tyrone area of central PA, raising my family in the same community where I was raised. I love to garden, hunt, fish, and participate in the local community and church activities, including being a youth advisor for the past 40 years.
