Glen Pitre has pursued many media-oriented careers, including television, film, and writing. However, he has also worked as a shrimp fisherman, house painter, ship's cook, roadside vendor of garlic, assistant zookeeper, and oil-field laborer. His work experiences and interactions with people of every economic level make him a well-rounded and worthy resource of information. He is author of The Crawfish Book and coauthor (with Barry Jean Ancelet and Jay Edwards) of Cajun Country, both published by University Press of Mississippi.
