Gary Bolno

Director of Insurance

gbolno@customizedis.com

For the past 40 years, Gary's passion has been helping his clients find insurance protection plans that are beneficial and ultimately help them to feel secure and protected.
 

Gary was born and raised in Philadelphia, where he met his future wife, Phylis, during his senior year at George Washington High School. He is forever grateful to Mr. Vassallo for sitting them next to each other in English. He moved to Bucks County right after graduating from Penn State University and lived there until 1997, when he moved to Scottsdale, Arizona.
 

He grew up in a family restaurant business and went into restaurant management after graduating from Penn State. After a few short years, Gary wanted to have more of an impact on people and set out to research a new career direction. 
 

He can remember an insurance agent meeting with his parents one evening. Gary listened to his “pitch” and could tell he wasn’t trying to understand their needs, but rather trying to make a sale. It occurred to Gary then that if you are going to sell insurance products, you had better be in it for the good of the client. Insurance protection can literally make or break a family and impact their financial survival and needs.  
 

Gary is a diehard Nittany Lion fan, never misses a football TV game, and has attended many bowl games over the years.
