He went to the University of Lafayette (UL) for three years in pre-veterinary medicine, but after not making it into Texas A&M for veterinary school, he went to work as a laborer roustabout in a Texaco pipe yard near Vermillion Bay in 1965. Two and a half years later he was transferred to a gas plant in Erath, where he worked in a metering station. During that time he worked a swing shift and went back to UL under Texaco's tuition aid plan and received a degree in agricultural business. After he got his degree, he went to work in as a materials coordinator in the New Iberia office, where he stayed for about 10 years. After that he was transferred to the Henry Gas Processing Plant as a materials supervisor.

During his career, he dealt almost exclusively with natural gas and describes the processing of natural gas and the market for it. |
