It's not traditional summer school, but Pete Deneault is going to spend the next few months performing complex business studies that could change the way Montanans look at fuels.
It's not detention, so Deneault is not performing the studies himself on propane lawn mowers and fuel conditioners. He will be working with local, state, and federal agencies to determine just how eco-friendly the products truly are before beginning to actively market them in the Montana region.

Deneault's Big Sky Enviroproducts partner is his brother, Fabian, who formerly worked in Ronan for Jore Corporation, a Montana manufacturer of accessories for electric hand tools.
