MkZero- Mk-Zero, AKA Brian C., has been into VW’s for 23 years now, starting off at the age of 13 when he got his first car, a ’59 Baja Bug. Even before that his dad had a ’67 Ghia that Brian loved to ride in and help his dad work on. Brian was born and raised in Spring Valley, CA, which is about 8 miles East of San Diego. He attended San Diego State University where he studied Mechanical Engineering while holding a part time job as an electronic and optical technician. All the while he kept his VW hobby going with the ’59 Baja, a 65 Baja, a ’72 Bug with a dual Weber 2176cc Nitrous motor, an 84 Scirocco he built a 2.1 L motor for, a ’92 Jetta, a 2001 Jetta, and his current car a ’55 semaphore beetle. After finishing his bachelor’s degree, Brian moved to Atlanta Georgia to earn Master’s and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical engineering at Georgia Tech. Upon finishing his education in 2002, he got a faculty position at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX, and performs biomechanical research. Brian now spends his weekends working on his ’55 beetle and the cars of other dLk members. He particularly enjoys building and tuning motors.
