    Christopher Brown was raised in Portland, Oregon.  At the age of 13 he started building and racing radio controlled cars.  It quickly became his main interest consuming all of his time outside of high school.  He worked at a local hobby store to support his racing habits.  Christopher competed in many regional events winning his fair share of trophies.  After graduating from High School he moved on to Oregon State University.
    His interest in cars lead him to a Mechanical Engineering degree.   Math and science were always a strong point and engineering came naturally.  While at OSU he embarked on many different projects which added diversity to his life.  Jobs such as a Resident Assistant, research assistant and writer/photographer for the school paper.
    For his senior year project, Christopher was busy designing and building a formula style race car.  The project was called Formula SAE (click here to see pictures and further info).  He was also Vice President of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers OSU chapter.   Later  that year,  Christopher recieved the Dr. Zaworski memorial scholarship and attended the University of Nottingham on a one year exchange program.  He completed his Bachelor of Science and studied composites  for his Masters research project.  He graduated with Cum Laude Honors in June of 1997.
    While in England, Christopher had his first real racing experience by attending the Jim Russell Racing Drivers School.  After the school, Christopher worked with data acqusition for the National Jim Russell Racing Team.
    When Christopher returned to the states broke, he took the first job offered to him with Parametric Technology Corporation.  As an Applications Engineer he traveled around to different customers doing implementation of computer software, technical support and sales demonstrations.  The training he received on their computer aided design software (CAD) allowed him to start a consulting business on his own.  His main consulting job was at Boydstun Metal Works designing car transportation trailers.
    Christopher started racing again in 1999 completing 5 race weekends driving a Spec Racer Ford.  In 2000 he competed in his first Formula Mazda only to get knocked out in the first corner by his teammate nonetheless.  Due to lack of funding, he only competed in two races for 2001, and another two races in 2002.  For 2003, Christopher competed in only two races again, this time winning both!  The next year 2004 saw a disappointing result due to the new poor tire construction which forced everyone to buy new sets every day.  Without proper funding he ran old hand me down tires but was only able to scrap a 7th place finish out of it.
    Starting in 2002 Christopher went to work for MoTeC USA as a track support engineer.  MoTeC builds engine control units and data acquisition computers for a variety of racing applications.  When he's not at the track, he works in product development, designing many things from sensors to steering wheels.
