Columbia, South Carolina — On the heels of last week’s merger between ScoutLook and HuntStand, a fiery new mobile media company was introduced to the hunting industry: HuntStand Media. Coming to market in early October, HuntStand Media will become the industry leader in digital content production and mobile distribution. Now, it’s time to meet the team …

CY WEICHERT – CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER
Weichert is a forward-thinking entrepreneur who founded Pyramid Network Services, LLC in 1996 —a one-man startup company that has grown to be a leading Wireless Communication Services company across the United States. He’s a dedicated husband, father of 8 children, land manager, bowhunter, ?sherman, conservationist, and philanthropist who provides foundational support for numerous schools and other charities. He also co-founded ScoutLook in 2010 with friend and business partner Bill Little. ScoutLook quickly became a mobile leader in the hunting industry, now joining HuntStand in a strategic merger to dominate the category.

“My mission in life has always been to create better solutions to help everyone else as much as I can. With that in mind, I couldn’t be more excited about the new HuntStand Media. Our ability to continue delivering world-class content and map-based tools to the largest and most engaged mobile audience in the hunting industry is equally humbling and inspiring to everyone on the team. Collectively, our apps have generated over 5 million downloads, and we’re incredibly focused on rolling out the best mobile tools for our loyal users—great things to come for sure!”

BILL LITTLE – CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER

Little is an avid outdoorsman, entrepreneur, and family man. He has hunted and fished the world over with bow, rifle, fly and spinning tackle, gaining knowledge and respect for diverse cultures and unique conservation efforts. He founded and continues to run a global healthcare data company serving the pharmaceutical and biotech industry. He’s happily married to his wife of 26 years, and loves spending time with his three sons, ages 22 (twins) and 18. He’s very active in his community, industry, and many organizations.

“I am genuinely proud of what our team has built over the last 10 years with ScoutLook. We’ve gained incredible knowledge and expertise in technology and content creation, and made many new friendships along the way. The next chapter in our evolution will be taking all we’ve learned and applying it to the new HuntStand Media. We are well positioned to transform how outdoorsmen and women consume content in a completely mobile-digital platform before, during, and after their trips afield. The possibilities are truly limitless, and we can’t wait to get rolling!”

JOSH DAHLKE – VP: CONTENT
Dahlke graduated from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in journalism, with a minor emphasis in natural resource conservation. From there, he worked as editor of a digital fishing magazine, then soon went on to join North American Media Group as online editor of North American Hunter magazine. He’s a regular content contributor to several national hunting publications and websites. Dahlke joined ScoutLook in 2014 to spearhead content development for the already successful mobile app. In 2016, he launched a ScoutLook original video series called “THE HUNGER.”

“It has been a wild ride. Much like hunting, you never know what might be over the next hill in this rapidly evolving digital media space—especially in mobile. It’s extremely thrilling and rewarding to work with the best content team and serve the most passionate audience in the world. It’s an increasingly demanding and competitive environment for any publisher. This forces us to stay sharp and adapt, but that’s how we thrive … so bring it on!”

MARK MELOTIK – EXECUTIVE EDITOR
Melotik is an award-winning editor/journalist who has hunted big game in most states and Canadian provinces, as well as Africa. Melotik also chases predators, waterfowl, turkeys, and grouse, and is an avid fly angler. His past includes a 17-year stint as editor of Bowhunting World and Archery Business magazines; Mark is also a frequent contributor to several popular outdoor publications.

“A wise man once said that the best way to predict the future is to create it, and I’m lucky enough to work with a team full of outdoor visionaries who thrive on accepting that challenge each and every day. All sportsmen and women stand to benefit."

In addition to this internal team of die-hards, HuntStand Media will be welcoming several respected names to push forward its hard-hitting stable of content: Mark Kayser, Brad Fenson, Tony Peterson, Ron Spomer, Tom Miranda, Richard Mann, Melissa Bachman and many more.
