Lillian Espinoza-Gala put me in contact with Andre Comeaux in order to schedule an interview with him. At the time of the interview, Andre was the vice president of Region’s Insurance, but he had a background in drilling. Interested in hearing his story, I called Andre and scheduled an interview at his office for July 31st.

Andre is from Lafayette and went to school at USL/UL, where he earned his degree in mechanical engineering. He worked for Amoco until the 1980s downturn. After getting out of the oil and gas industry, Andre started working in the insurance industry; part of his work included insuring oilfield companies. At the time of the interview, Andre was running for a seat in the Louisiana state legislature
