Tom Wiley’s entry into the hunting industry followed an unconventional path. In 1995, while working as an Emergency Room Nurse, Tom developed a game call design using surgical tubing. In 1998, Tom founded Wiley Outdoor Products to manufacture and market Flextone brand game calls. In 2000, after receiving a patent for his flexible game call design, he left his nursing career behind.


He has successfully marketed various game call designs (Flextone Brand Game calls and Remington Game Calls) to many major hunting retailers and distributors including Wal-Mart, Bass Pro Shops, Cabela’s, Gander Mountain and Dick’s Sporting Goods. Tom sold the assets of Wiley Outdoor Products, LLC to Wildgame Innovations in late 2007, but is still involved in new product development. His vast experience in the hunting industry has contributed to a reputation within his territory as a well known expert in many facets of the industry and sport that he loves.


On the sales and marketing front, Tom has created many successful advertising campaigns and dealer/distributor promotions. His current web project will bring all of the dealers in the southeast territory up to cyber speed with some viral marketing through his web site www.wileyoutdoorproducts.com and www.youtube.com. On the service front, Tom has developed relationships with the dealers and distributors in his territory that go beyond the ordinary. Training is key to Tom’s success and he has hosted many shooting/hunting/training events that have contributed to a team of experts behind the counter.

Dustin graduated from the University of Tennessee at Martin with a degree in Marketing and has enjoyed working in the sporting goods industry for the past 8 years. Before joining the PMI team, he worked as the gun department manager for Final Flight Outfitters located in Union City, Tennessee where he managed everyday operations in the gun department, as well as the responsibilities of buying long guns, hand guns, optics, and a few hunting accessory categories.


He will now use his background in retail to relate to his customers on both sides of the counter. He will strive to make sure he builds positive relationships with his customers by maintaining a high standard of integrity and honesty. His character, along with a hard work ethic will assure that his customers are prepared for success through training and customer service as well as being up-to-date with the latest trends in the industry. As a devoted outdoorsman, Dustin is able to use his personal knowledge and experiences to understand what dealers, as well as consumers, need and want in quality outdoor products.
