Ferguson Beauregard is a total solutions provider in natural gas plunger lift automation and optimization. As an Automation Supervisor, I am involved with multiple, cross functional product development teams. Our goal is to leverage our diverse backgrounds and expertise to develop and produce advanced technologies in automation. We are currently involved with some of the largest natural gas automation projects to have taken place in the United States. The projects encompass several years and involve the automation of thousands of natural gas wells. Our products make natural gas extraction a much more efficient and environmentally sensitive process. We install centralized computer/telemetry systems that coordinate the cycling of the gas wells. The proprietary systems gather discrete data readings from an array of critical points and utilize this data through complex algorithms for well optimization. Well optimization minimizes fluid loading of the wells and significantly reduces direct atmospheric gas emissions. We also incorporate fluid level monitoring and safety controls which prevent the occurrence of oil spills. Our entire network of radio and control systems all run autonomously on solar power. We offer complete host solutions for data integration and user interface. Every facility is integrated into our clients' networks. Clients are then enabled to monitor and control all of their wells remotely, further reducing the footprint of oil and gas production.

Grizzly Outfitters is one of the largest outdoor equipment retailers in Big Sky, Montana. As Operations Manager, I was responsible for managing daily business functions, hiring, scheduling, product orders, and coordinating with vendors. I worked closely with the owners to provide our customers with the highest quality products and services. In 2005, we designed and built a custom facility, doubling our presence and expanding many of our services. I was personally involved in the design and construction of the new location. As the business flourished I was responsible for a staff of fourteen, in two different departments. In my time as operations manager, Grizzly Outfitters experienced 100% growth in annual revenue.

O.A.R.S. is one of the largest wilderness river companies in the world, offering extended expedition trips in a multitude of countries. I served as a multi-day, whitewater guide on the Salmon River in Idaho and the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Our trips ranged in length from three to eighteen days, covering distances of more than 100 river miles. As stewards of these remote and wild areas, we educated our clientele of the unique and intrinsic value of these incredible natural resources. Our goal was to engage with customers and create a contemplative environment for them to reevaluate their core purposes and establish new goals in their lives.
