Who is behind WorldCarFans?
Brian Potter, 34, Editor in Chief, Managing Director, Founder, is responsible for the overall editorial direction and management of WorldCarFans.com. An extreme enthusiast with significant technical training in the construction and repair of automobiles, Brian has been happily married for 14 years and has three children. Brian is also a serious music enthusiast with preferences towards punk, hardcore and metal-core rock genres. Brian's other hobbies include playing guitar, photography and riding his BMX flatland bike much to the uncontrollable amusement of any witnesses.
Clinton “hot sauce” Deacon (Technical Director, Editor), 28, is responsible for all the web development and server administration of WCF. An emotional football fan coming from Leicester, England, Clinton was seduced and shipped over to Finland by his Long term Girlfriend who he has 2 children with and is set to walk the plank marry in summer 2008.
Frank “wise ass” de Leeuw van Weenen (Editor) originally hales from The Netherlands. He shares musical taste with Brian although he has a deep hatred for “battle metal”. Frank, 29, is happily married with a newborn. Besides being a general annoyance to everyone in the office, Frank has a fine collection of Desktop images as well as a strong fondness for compact 3 door hatchbacks. Despite his shortcomings, Frank is the anchorman when it comes to making sure that WCF is fresh and on target with all of the best stories.
Alexander Tallberg, 22, is the only true Helsinki-bred writer at WorldCarFans. If he's not blazing through downtown Helsinki in his Golf GTi, you'll find him in the library plowing through Economics books. Alexander picked up his English scribbling writing skills during a three-year sojourn in mainland Europe, where he plans to return to after graduating from business school. He has a passion for straight six-cylinder BMWs and is, despite his Finnish-Swedish background, an avid listener of gangsta rap.
Sam "Stockers" Stockley is Contributing Editor and student of German at London's King's College - the choice of subject perhaps spurred on by his passion for German cars. Residing in sunny Britain, originally hailing from Sandhurst, just west of London, our 20-year-old rookie /car fanatic/ enjoys music of many tastes, particularly rock and punk, gig-going, cinema visits and heading out with friends.
Zack "Royale" Newmark (Editor) has a love for cars that began with repeated viewings of Cannonball Run. Originally from Chicago, the 29-year-old last worked at NBC News, where he won one Emmy and two Edward R. Murrow awards as a producer and assignment editor. A film junkie who lives by the Repo Code, Zack now lives the good life in Amsterdam with his fiance, Mirjam, and dog, Zoe. He is an avid Cubs fan, hates the designated hitter rule, and denies the existence of Rocky V. His all-time favorite car is a beige 1972 Chevy Vega.
Bienvenido “Bushido” Concepcion (Video Editor) is first, a film/video nut and second, a computer nerd genius. Bien, 26, is responsible for the design and web development of WCF as well as all video editing. Bien's background as a professional video editor includes regular romps with the likes of Discovery Channel, National Geographic, PBS and many others. Bien has one child and happily married for four years.
