Richard Fergola

Director of Marketing & Public Relations

Richard's journey into the world of BBQ began in the kitchen learning how to prepare family favorites with his Mom and Grandmother. Today he still carries on the family secrets and has found a way to stay true to his roots. His love of Italian food opened the door and led him to his current obsession with smoke and fire. Richard’s passion, preparation, organization, determination, and planning made him a successful wrestler and coach, and now he applies those same attributes and more to the competition cooking arena.


His commitment and desire to be the greatest at everything he does has helped make Fergolicious BBQ what it is today. With 160 contests, and 31 Grand & Reserve Grand Championships, including a World Championship to his credit, Richard (otherwise known as Fergie), continues to strive for the top and brings his passion to the Proud Souls team. "I always want to work and surround myself with the best and Proud Souls is absolutely the best at what they do."
