I'm Amy Wheeler, born and raised in our "small town with a big heart", St.Pauls NC! My husband Stephen and I are actually high school sweethearts who met at St.Pauls High. Stephen and our little one Easton are my everything. Recently, I've opened my very own boutique storefront in town. Lavish Rose Boutique can now be your first stop to grab a new outfit or browse our book selection while supporting our small business community. You'll always find me shopping, whether that looks like a new outfit or an armful of books. Or spending time at the beach with my family. I'm so excited to be a part of St.Pauls Possible! I already know we are going to do great things together for the community and local businesses. Our goal is to give back where we can and help the town grow in so many ways.

John owns and manages a CPA firm in downtown St. Pauls, which provides tax and accounting services for local businesses and individuals. Having been born and raised in our town, he

possesses a strong desire to see the community continue to grow and improve for future generations to enjoy.

John believes being an active part of the community is the responsibility of all residents.

Blake Tyner grew up surrounded by history and great Southern cooking spending countless hours with his great-grandparents. The busy kitchen and large family dinners gave a perfect settling for hearing about the people of the past. As he learned the history of the area and her citizens, he developed a craving to bring the people of the past alive and share their stories.

At the age of 14 he started reporting the social news for The St. Pauls Review. He literally gave his 2 cents to the public being paid 2 cents per word for his weekly article. He holds a Master of Library Science with a specialty in archives and manuscripts. He has published four books as well as numerous articles in regional newspapers and magazines. 

He works at the Museum of the Southeast American Indian at UNCP and currently serves the public in the following roles:

• Robeson County Foundation (Secretary/Treasurer)
• Friends of Robeson County Library (Secretary)
• NC Museum Council (Annual    Meeting Chair)
• St. Pauls Chamber of Commerce 

I’m an original St. Pauls Girl. I have been a business owner in St. P for 36yrs. The Mistletoe Market, that is known in St. Pauls now, was born in my backyard in 2020. I’m the President of Woodmen Life Chapter 710 and have been able to secure money for lots of projects around St. P through this local Chapter. I’m married to David and we have one daughter Charli and a Fur baby we adore, Stella! I’m the biggest Disney Fan ever and I’m a lover of the beach. I as well love my Hometown and I’m excited about being apart of St. Pauls Possible and the good things to come for our little town.

I am thrilled to be part of the team bringing St Paul’s Possible to life. Service to community is my calling. Before coming to St Pauls as the town administrator, I spent the last fifteen years involved with various non profits and local governments both in management roles and in elected positions. My passion since I was a young girl has always been writing. I owned and operated a small press for seven years, and also published several books of my own. I am excited to make North Carolina my home with my three children Trinity, Gavin, and Skylar, my husband Steve, and our pups!
