Early life and education

Great credentials!

But wouldn’t we be giving the USA too big an advantage over the rest of the world regarding energy with all of these competent folks working for Trump? (sarc)

Seriously, energy is at the heart of most of our foreign entanglements. As we become energy independent / globally dominant we could help other developing nations grow in kind.

Definitely has merit - hopefully Trump will take a close look.

from what O’Reilly said, he’s got a long history with China, Russia, and other countries as a result of his business dealings. He sounds like an excellent candidate, and knows what it means to produce results and be accountable.

I have a relative high up in Exxon Mobil who says Tillerson is a unabashed globalist. He strongly opposes the idea of nominating Tillerson.

If this accusation is anywhere near true, that is bad news indeed because it runs counter to the nationalism expressed in so many ways by the President-elect and by his most fervent supporters throughout the campaign.

“Longhorn Band.... Bachelor of Science in civil engineering”

http://www.engin.umich.edu/college/about/news/stories/2014/november/best-of-two-worlds

“Did you know that the University of Michigan engineering students make up 40% of the Michigan Marching Band?”

I think that is typical.

I’d much rather see Tillerson as SoS than many of the others on Trump’s short list such as liberal opportunist Romney or a Bush administration retread like Bolton.
