Lillian Espinoza-Gala recommended that I interview her friend Martial Broussard. I had met him before at a gathering at Lillian’s house, at which he had given me his contact information. A few weeks later I called him asking if he would like to do an interview. He agreed to participate. We did the interview at Lillian’s house.

Martial, a Lafayette native, started his career in the oil and gas industry during the 1980s with Teleco developing measurement while drilling (MWD) tools. He also worked doing directional drilling and served as an international consultant. He then worked for Schlumberger for a few years before retiring in 2006
