Dustin Vaughn Warncke is an authority in sales, e-commerce, graphic design, social media, video, streaming TV, and podcast production, and digital marketing, with a specialization in small and medium-size business development and growth. He started building websites in the late 1990’s when the Internet was still catching on during his last two years of high school.
Additionally, Warncke has served as a motivational speaker and master teacher, and worked with numerous small businesses in sales, marketing, website development, publishing and business consulting with his company, Warncke Enterprises.

As the author of over 10 books, with two more in production for release later this year, and numerous feature magazine articles, host of over 100 full-length outdoor and personal growth podcasts, producer of over 30 streaming outdoor TV show episodes, and 100’s of YouTube videos, Warncke is prolific in many ways, and seeks to add value to the lives he touches through his work in the Great Outdoors and beyond. He has also helped many aspiring Podcasters, YouTubers, TV show hosts, writers, and other media producers improve their craft, and launch their own productions to an international audience as guide and mentor in the ever-growing digital media space.
In the last decade, he served as the Associate Publisher, Contributing Editor, and Digital Edition/Video Columnist for Texas Fish & Game Magazine, and has authored several feature articles in this publication during the 7 years working there in those roles full time, which included monthly fishing reports from Texas area fishing charters. He also served as Contributing Editor for Texas Lakes & Bays, a best-selling fishing atlas, also published by Texas Fish & Game. He recently was invited back to the magazine in a role to include authoring feature articles for TF&G, with the first being published in the March/April 2025 issue.
In addition to hosting and producing his own outdoors and personal growth podcasts, Dustin produces weekly podcasts for outdoor legends Larry Weishuhn (AKA “Mr. Whitetail”), Herman Brune (“The Lost Rider”), and a weekly terrestrial radio show and podcast for Luke Clayton (Catfish Radio) which broadcasts on over 30 terrestrial radio stations every Saturday morning across 4 different states in the southern region of the USA.
Last summer, Dustin went full time with his “side project” business of 18 years, Warncke Enterprises, based in Central Texas. As a Texas native, Dustin has a teenage son, Jackson Vaughn Warncke, who shares a passion for wildlife and marine conservation and LOVES hunting, fishing, shooting, archery, bowfishing, and ALL THINGS OUTDOORS, walking in the footsteps of who he calls, “The Best Dad Ever”!
Dustin has worked in eCommerce professionally for over 14 years, and served as eCommerce, Marketing, and Social Media manager for many different companies and brand names, such as AccuSharp Knife & Tool Sharpeners, Everlasting Comfort, and Lammes Candies.
Dustin’s passion for helping guides and outfitters, and other businesses inside and outside of the outdoor industry to “Amplify Excellence” in what they do best for their clients, is a main intrinsic motivator for all he does.
