Who we are…

Richard Fergola, Pitmaster, Richards 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 lead 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 into 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.
