Mike Bray, CEO

Mike Bray boasts three decades of experience in internet marketing, with a specialization in search engine optimization. As the CEO of Wolfpack Publishing, a company he co-founded in 2013 with western writer L.J. Martin, Bray has demonstrated impressive leadership in the publishing sector. Under his guidance, the company swiftly amassed a significant portfolio of western authors and their previous works. By December 2016, Wolfpack achieved a remarkable milestone of selling 2 million books. The company’s growth trajectory was further validated when, in 2017, Mr. Martin opted for retirement and sold his stake to Bray.

Today, Wolfpack stands as one of America’s fastest-growing publishers. It has earned the honor of being listed twice on Inc. Magazine’s compilation of the 5000 fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. Additionally, the company has been featured twice in Publishers Weekly’s roundup of the top 10 fastest-growing publishers in America, even clinching the #1 spot in 2021 as the fastest-growing publisher in America.
