In nearly 30 years of service, April Browne didn't just rise to the rank of Captain of the Durham Police Department in North Carolina—she soared. Approaching her retirement with the same relentless drive she'd always had, she faced one last challenge: deciphering what to do with her 401K and how to make her money work for her in retirement.The information she found was as clear as mud.

Enter Charlie Jewett and Renovating Retirement, the heroes April didn't know she needed. Becoming a client, April's eyes were opened to the life- and income-impacting secrets of her pension and taxation—nuggets of wisdom that had eluded her until now.

My Mission

Inspire:

1

My goal is to inspire clients to take action for their finances. With everything going on today most are overwhelmed when it comes to finances and how to make the best choice for their financial needs. 

Community Outreach:

2

Organize financial literacy events within the law enforcement community to raise awareness about the importance of retirement planning.  

One-on-One Consultations:

3

Had she stuck with the default pension plan, Uncle Sam would have taken such a hefty cut that covering basic expenses might have become a tightrope walk.

Thanks to some smart financial maneuvers and asset protection strategies, April secured a guaranteed income for her golden years, immune to economic turbulence. Renovating Retirement was such a game-changer that April decided to get trained in it herself, aiming to offer the same financial security to her community.

Now, Zelken Financial Services and the Renovating Retirement process are here to ensure that all law enforcement officers can achieve the same peace of mind that April did. Retirement planning just got a lot less confusing and a whole lot more secure.

Offer personalized consultations for officers to review their current pension plans and explore better alternatives.

I love playing with old film cameras! It's a hobby of mine.
