Milford has come to aviation late in life. After finding out that the young next door neighbor was getting his pilot’s license Milford was eat up with jealousy to the point that at the age of 44 he began flight training. While training he joined the local chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association for the opportunity to fellowship with pilots. Once they realized that he wasn’t going to go away they made him chapter secretary, then president. Currently he is in partnership with a Cherokee 180, a Starduster Too under construction, and an 80% Complete Midget Mustang is lying neglected in the garage. He has added complex and tailwheel ratings to his license and is currently working on an instrument endorsement. After that the plan is pursue gliders (Gliders, where every landing is an engine out approach!). He says that his biggest aviation thrill so far is getting to ride in EAA’s B-17 Aluminum Overcast.

Charlie had a very strong interest in aviation since he was a small kid. He built plastic model and wooden airplanes until he was old enough to build and fly control line airplanes, then moved on to radio control. With an interest in electronics, he even built his own radio control transmitter, receiver and servos. He progressed and began flying the REAL thing in the summer of 1970 and received his private pilot license a short time later. Charlie moved to North Carolina for his work in the early 70′s and joined a group of “Sky Divers” associated with East Carolina University. He spent several years as the club pilot and made over 120 jumps at many different dropzones. Later, Charlie built a Burt Rutan Designed “Long Eze” and is now finishing a J-3 Cub replica. Both of the aircraft were built from plans and raw materials and the help of great friends. Charlie worked in the Aviation industry as an Air Traffic Controller at facilities across the Southeast U. S. (CHS, FAY, TLH, ZJX, JAX, LAL and DAB) and was also a controller at the Sun-N-Fun Fly-In 4 times!

Combining Finance, Faith, and Philosophy is no accident. We believe it is of the upmost importance for us and our clients to realize, “In Him we live and move and have our being.” and “For by him were all things created…and he is before all things, and by him all things hold together.”

Working under this umbrella, our goal is to change the paradigm of the general public when it comes to thinking about ways to save money and retire. As a result, in the last two market crashes, not one of our clients lost a dime of their principal or earned interest. This stands in stark contrast to stocks, mutual funds, variable annuities, bonds, real estate, and other forms of investments. Please see our Financial Insight Blog for more on this subject.

Paul Pent & Associates works in conjunction with Capitas Financial and is an independent group of asset, and life insurance specialists. Together we bring over 85 years of combined experience. By not being employed by any of the companies we work with, we are able to accomplish an unbiased approach to searching the annuity and life insurance market for the vehicles our clients like best.
