Hoover was a very successful mining engineer, ran his own international company and made millions. (He earned one of the first engineering degrees from Stanford U. )
In 1914 he became involved in humanitarian food relief efforts for Americans stranded in Europe and for natives, particularly in Belgium, who could not get food due to war blockades. He single-highhandedly got people to donate tons of food and found ways to get it shipped to Europe and distributed to the people who needed it. He also served as Secretary of Commerce under Harding and Coolidge.
He was the third Unites States Secretary of Commerce (March 5, 1921 - August 21, 1928) and later served with distinction on several civil commissions.
