James Sellers founded Sellmark Corporation in 2000, guiding it from a garage startup to a globally recognized leader in outdoor lifestyle and tactical products. Under his leadership, Sellmark has earned over 120 patents and built a diverse portfolio of trusted brands, including Sightmark, Pulsar, Firefield, KJI, BulletSafe, INFORCE, and Dark30.
James brings the same dedication and enthusiasm to environmental conservation as he does to his thriving business. He established a 6,700-acre working ranch in Teague, Texas, dedicated to regenerative agriculture and restoring the native post-oak savanna ecosystem. His advocacy for sustainability aligns with his belief in responsible innovation and community-focused leadership.
James earned his MBA from the University of Texas at Arlington and his BA from Southern Methodist University. He actively serves on various advisory boards supporting economic development, manufacturing, and entrepreneurship.
