Lauren Guerra and Brad Westwood talk about the genesis behind American Energy Outfitters and the Energy Spike Volleyball Tournament.
The Energy Spike Volleyball Tournament 2021 is a new oil & gas networking event that encourages energy professionals of all ages and both genders to participate in a fun day in the sun.
A portion of the event proceeds will be donated to the Women’s Energy Network (WEN) South Texas Scholarship Fund. This event aims to give the oil & gas community a fun way to network (and compete) whilst also giving back to the community by contributing to the future of oil & gas workforce.
Lauren has been in the oil and gas industry more than seven years. Lauren graduated from Texas State University with a Bachelor’s in Public Relations. Lauren started her career in oil and gas as the Editor-in-Chief at SHALE Magazine.
After several years in that role, Lauren took the Vice President role at The Austin-Montana Project where she works hand-in-hand with various energy service companies to create business opportunities and strengthen visibility within the energy and related industries. Also the immediate past President of the Women’s Energy Network (WEN) South Texas and is currently serving as an officer on the San Antonio Pipeliners Association (SAPA) board, Lauren works extensively with energy associations and non-profits to further their respective missions.
Brad is currently serving in the United States Air Force National Guard. He has served on active duty orders overseas in support of Operation Inherent Resolve and has also aided local and federal law enforcement and disaster relief agencies in Tier 1 State Emergencies.
Brad is a Staff-Sergeant with six years of Law Enforcement experience in Security Forces and two years of experience as a Weapons instructor and armorer in Combat Arms Training and Maintenance (CATM). Brad also adopted a hobby of graphic design, doing freelance work before taking the leap of becoming an entrepreneur. Brad’s hobbies also include traveling and outdoor sports such as football and motocross racing.
Brad and Lauren together started their entrepreneurship with a clothing brand called Staux, a premium outdoor apparel company, which still operates. After extensive research and self-learning every detail about the retail and apparel industry, they started American Energy Outfitters LLC.
