Michael Carter
Unofficial Hype Man
Michael Carter is Albemarle’s Instagram star, turning everyday town life into social media gold. Whether he’s capturing the drama of the annual watermelon toss or chatting up locals at the Handy Mart, Michael’s feed is all about the charm of small-town life. With a camera in one hand and a coffee from Stanly Community College in the other, he’s made a name for himself by mixing selfies with sunsets and making Albemarle look just a little bit cooler. When he’s not online, you’ll find him lifting weights—or his follower count—over at Lifters Gym.
