His "....For Dummies" series of books take complex subjects and explain them in simple language. Building a business from the ground up is a McGovern family tradition. Both his County Cavan-born grandfather and his namesake uncle were contractors. A selfless, self-made man, Pat McGovern combines his Boston business savvy with a spirit for adventure which he attributes to rumored ancestor Gracie O'Malle! y, the pirate queen of Ireland.
