Hello my name is Trevor Eckard. I am originally from Boerne, Texas near San Antonio, however, in high school I moved to Lucas, Texas just north of Dallas. I am currently a senior Petroleum Engineer (PE) and plan on graduating Spring 2017. The coolest thing about being a PE is the many opportunities to travel and experience new locations. You can either stay in the United States, go offshore, or even go out of the country to European or South American countries. The past summers I have had an internship with Denbury Resources in both Houston and Plano Texas. Both were extremely great opportunities that I thoroughly enjoyed.
One of my favorite things to do is to travel. Some of my favorite locations I have been is Costa Rica, Germany, San Francisco, and Montana. I have a few places that are on my bucket list that include Lake Louise, Australia, and to ski the Swiss Alps. I hope I can see these places very soon. If there are any other suggestions please let me know!

My favorite book series is the Vince Flynn series about Mitch Rapp, a young aspiring CIA agent and his life after becoming one of the top agents. It is a great series that includes historically correct events with entertaining stories about Rapp’s adventures. Also, I am a huge movie person, with my favorite movie being Shawshank Redemption. Other favorites include the Batman movie series, Hell or High Water, and The Prestige. I am usually up for any movie and am always looking to watch new ones! Going along with the movie scene, my favorite snack food is popcorn by far. I definitely love going to the movie theater just get popcorn with jalepenos (trust me it’s good).
My hobbies include cooking, poker, and playing sports (specifically basketball and golf). I enjoy playing and watching almost any sport though and know plenty of useless sports trivia. My only sports team I really root for is the Spurs though (I am going to miss Tim Duncan!).
