Charles Enea

Once a successful owner and operator of upscale men's wear stores in the East Bay for over 15 years, Charles Enea is now a well-acclaimed financial services professional focused on estate preservation. In truth, this was an unexpected turn for him who retired from the retail industry. But he inadvertently became a retail consultant, as other men's wear retailers, even previous competitors, sought his advice during his retirement. Then it was just fitting that he made a transition to work as a full-fledged financial professional. So his history of success in this field began. His first job stint was with MONY (Mutual of New York) where he was recognized as National Rookie of the Year during his two years of employment. Then he served as regional sales manager for California State Automobile Association (AAA) for 5 years, and he surpassed the production goals for its budding project of Life and Annuity products. Afterwhich, Bisys (formerly a publicly traded company and the nation's largest wholesale Life and Property & Casualty brokerage) recruited him to facilitate in providing financial products/services as their Northern California regional director. After two years, Mr. Enea decided to form his own investment advisory firm in Walnut Creek, CA which he called Vantage One Financial (www.vantage1financial.com). As its financial advisor, he believes in extending independent investment advice that is neutral and unbiased--this earned him and his establishment the trust and confidence of his clients. To date, Mr. Enea remains to be an honorable investment advisor who is well-respected by interest groups such as Martinez Gun Club and Harley Owners Group, non-profits like Saint Anthony's Dining Room, and social clubs as Colombo Club and California Indians.
