“Empowering Craven County businesses by bridging local culture, responsive design, and elite search visibility.”

Professional Narrative

Carnell Wallace—locally known as “Vonny the Creator”—is a New Bern native, former educator, and elite digital strategist dedicated to keeping Craven County’s economy thriving. With a professional background rooted in both classroom instruction and municipal administration (serving as an Enrichment Coordinator for municipal Parks and Recreation), Carnell brings a unique, people-first perspective to local search engine optimization.

As the architectural mind behind Support New Bern, Carnell utilizes a sophisticated “Local Service Matrix” framework and “SILO” architecture to elevate regional businesses.

Whether he is designing high-converting, frictionless digital directories, coordinating major municipal community events (such as the Pembroke Annual Back-To-School Festival or the Bear Town Bracket Buster 3v3), or mentoring local entrepreneurs on local search dominance, Carnell’s mission remains constant: connecting neighbors, supporting local creators, and keeping Eastern North Carolina moving forward.
