About
Experience From Both Sides of the Table
Dane Ferguson doesn't approach strategy from a textbook. He approaches it from the experience of having actually built, opened, operated, marketed, funded, and grown businesses and organizations.
As the founder and operator of Ferguson Books & More in North Dakota, Dane spent 16 years learning what it means to carry the responsibility of ownership—from hiring and inventory to community relationships and the decisions that keep you up at night.
That retail foundation expanded into fundraising and development work, executive leadership, marketing, operations, business development, and strategic consulting. Today, Fergies & Frenchies brings that accumulated experience to entrepreneurs, business owners, retailers, nonprofits, and organizations ready to build, grow, or navigate what comes next.
