#TeamARRAY
PUBLISHER
ANNE MARIE ZIEGLER
Hello Cumberland County! I’m an 8th generation native of Cumberland County, wife, daughter, sister, mother of four and grandmother of six. I started my entrepreneurial journey while in the third grade and that has continued until this day. I’ve always had a passion for learning, trying new things, meeting people and working at being a better me! In 2013 I felt there was a need for a local community magazine that was always positive and affordable for businesses, however, I also wanted to share the stories of this great community of which I’m very proud to be from. Thus, my journey with ARRAY began so we could share a variety of information about the community. It’s exciting being the only woman publisher with a print magazine in the county, and having the only Latino publication in the county. I am involved in several organizations and also serve on several boards, and committees, such as Fayetteville Urban Ministry, Women’s Business Center, Networth, Kiwanis, Fascinate U Children’s Museum and BNI, as well as others. While I moved away for 15 years and lived in various locations, I came back to Cumberland County and family, and I agree there is no place like home!

PodCast Director / Host
Caroline Schafer
Hello, beautiful people of North Carolina! I'm Caroline Schafer. A native of Oklahoma, I am thrilled to now be able to call North Carolina my home. Thanks to the military, the hubby and I currently reside in Fayetteville, and we love going on adventures throughout this impressive state. In fact, one of the things I truly enjoy is hearing the stories of the people and the places that make North Carolina the grand state that it is. There are layers of history that reside within the layers of soil, whisper with the ocean waves and echo from deep within the mountains. Storytelling is an art, one that requires compassion, love for others, and genuine authenticity. All of which, I hope to bring to the ARRAYdio podcast. I can't wait to have you join me as we explore the stories within the unique communities.

Stone Samuels
I am just a small-town guy who has an ongoing love affair with photography. An affair that started with an old box camera that cost me two dollars at a yard sale I was nine. Throughout my childhood and adult life, I have had some type of camera in my hands and have shot photos all over the world. After retiring from the IT world, I was told to pick up my camera again and I have been a full-time photographer ever since. It is my passion in life, along with writing for ARRAY and HOLA Fayetteville Magazines as part of #TeamARRAY.
