He apparently told the local media that he's a native of Ashe County -- the Helton community to be exact. But when, he was hired as finance director for Caldwell County in 2005, the minutes record he was a native of (insert drumroll here) the town of Hudson. We've reviewed our maps, and are pretty darn sure that Hudson ain't in Ashe County.
When the triumvirate of Ashe County Commissioners fired county manager Pat Mitchell earlier this year, Commissioner Judy Poe made a big stink to say that Mitchell was wearing too many hats. Mitchell held a teaching position at Appalachian State and served on various state economic development boards.
Yearick appears he has a closet full of hats, too. Interestingly, two of those hats never got mentioned in the "Hello, my name is Sam" news stories.
Back in October, he was appointed by Gov. McCrory to the Board of Trustees of Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute. But more interesting is his position as chairman of the Caldwell County Republican Party. Here, you can see his smiling face on the Caldwell GOP facebook page.
On a positive note, Yearick was formerly an auditor with the North Carolina Department of Revenue and CPA. One can hope that he'll offer some friendly advice to Commissioner Gerald Price who has recently taken to fighting the 16th Amendment and challenging the IRS' authority to levy income taxes.
