Hello, My name is Andrew Parkhurst. I am a UCSC Honors student who will be graduating from Soquel High School in 2 weeks. I have had a strong acedemic life so far with a 3.75 GPA and I have been involved in sports. I also enjoy cars, motorcycles, and skimboarding. I have played football and basketball for years but I will no longer be able to when i go to UC Davis next fall. UCSC is a great school, I just want to get out of town even though I considered staying in town for a while.

I have always been interested in building things that work and move. I was always interested in Legos and finding out how objects work. This interest turned into a love for working with cars. I have a project 1965 Mustang which I am in the rebuilding process for. At UC Davis I plan to take all kinds of engineering from civil to mechanical so I will be able to build and create machines, cars, bridges and anything that needs building.
