Despite growing up in very humble hard-working, blue-collar families, James and Lois’s entrepreneurial journey began with a vision to create a business that would not only thrive in a competitive industry but also become a significant force in the global market. Through the Archers’ leadership and dedication, they built Multi-Chem into one of the largest and most successful oil and gas service companies in the world. Under their guidance, Multi-Chem grew to become a leader in its field, offering innovative solutions and services to the oil and gas industry. This success culminated in the sale of Multi-Chem to Halliburton in 2011, a milestone that marked the achievement of the Archers’ business ambitions and set the stage for the next chapter in their lives.

Since its founding, the Archer Foundation has been able to support a wide array of causes and organizations, focusing on initiatives that have a direct and lasting impact on the lives of children, senior citizens, and other underserved populations. Whether it’s supporting educational programs, healthcare initiatives, or social services, the Foundation has been instrumental in funding efforts that address critical needs and provide resources to those who need it most.

Through the creation of the Foundation, the Archers sought to formalize their giving, ensuring that it would be sustained and effective for years to come. They hoped that their work would inspire others to join in their mission of giving back and working toward making the world a better place. By partnering with other like-minded organizations and individuals, the Archers continue to fulfill their commitment to philanthropy, leaving behind a legacy that will positively impact countless lives and contribute to a brighter future for all. The Foundation stands as a testament to the Archers’ vision of creating lasting change and empowering others to do the same.
