Galen Bargerstock is a U.S. Army veteran and Purple Heart and Bronze Star recipient who turned his firsthand frustrations with complex government benefits into a mission: helping others navigate their own financial journeys with clarity and confidence. As President and Co-founder of GCES, Galen built the company to be the opposite of a one-size-fits-all service—offering personalized guidance rooted in education and trust.
A licensed Financial Advisor, Galen holds a Pennsylvania life, health, and annuity license along with FINRA Series 6, 63, and 65 licenses. Known for his ability to simplify the complex, he provides custom strategies tailored to each client’s unique goals, whether they’re approaching retirement or just getting started.
Galen’s passion for service extends beyond the office. He was named one of PA Business Central’s Foremost Under 40 in 2021 and recognized as one of their Top 100 People in Business in 2025. He is active in the community and values strong client relationships built on listening, transparency, and long-term support.
When he’s not advising clients, you’ll likely find Galen working out, cooking up something healthy, or enjoying the outdoors. He also logs a lot of windshield time between appointments—with good music always playing. Above all, Galen is most grateful for the partnership he shares with Clint, both in business and in life: “We balance each other’s strengths and knock it out of the park together.”
