Dewey Tran is a seasoned executive with deep expertise in media, technology, and investment banking. As the co-founder of One Media Connect, he brings a wealth of experience from both the corporate world and small business ownership, allowing him to bridge the gap between Fortune 500 strategies and the needs of small and medium-sized businesses in the Crystal Coast and beyond.
Dewey began his career at Bandwidth.com as its first employee, where he played a crucial role in scaling the company into a major telecommunications provider. His contributions helped lay the foundation for Bandwidth.com’s success, ultimately leading to its IPO. After his time at Bandwidth, he transitioned into investment banking, working at Bank of America and Wachovia Securities (now Wells Fargo), where he specialized in media and telecommunications. During this time, he advised Fortune 500 companies on financial strategy, capital markets, and mergers and acquisitions, further deepening his expertise in corporate finance and high-growth industries.
Following his tenure in investment banking, Dewey joined MaxPoint Interactive as a senior executive, where he helped drive the company’s growth in digital marketing technology. His leadership contributed to MaxPoint’s expansion and successful IPO, solidifying his reputation as a strategic growth leader in the media and advertising technology space.

Mrs. Sarah Weinhold
Assistant Executive Director
It is my pleasure to serve as the Assistant Director of The Tiller School of Carteret County. This will be my fourteenth year in educational leadership and my 29th year in education. Prior to joining Tiller, I was a Principal, Assistant Principal and teacher with the Carteret County School system. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Chowan College and a Masters of School Administration from East Carolina University with certification in Curriculum and Instruction. I will always be a teacher at heart and always remember the important work being done in classrooms.
I am blessed to be married to a wonderful Carteret County man, Bill for 35 years and mom to our son William. My goal is to help provide a supportive culture where students and staff grow and are provided the skills to reach their highest potential. In my free time I prefer to be on a boat enjoying all the water has to offer!
