MEET THE MEMBERS – MARINA JEZZINI AND BRIAN SCHMIDT

Marina and Brian have the Las Vegas Region of PCA to thank for bringing them together; they met at a PCA event and Brian invited Marina to join him at the next week’s HPDE event.  That’s all it took as they realized they both have a need for speed and love being at racetracks.  They were married later that year with a Porsche themed wedding.  At about the time of the wedding Porsche ran ads that said “Choose Thrilling”, which got painted on the garage wall. 

Although they have been long-time Las Vegas residents, they had another connection since they were both born in Iowa and still visit family there.

Brian’s Porsche interest started long ago through his sports car enthusiast Uncle.  For three years he made Brian “babysit” his 911 with the requirement that the car must be driven at least once a week.  Wow, was that a tough assignment!

Marina got started with owning Porsches at the urging of her son, Andre.  Of course, she had to get the approval of her Big Brother, Les.  No problem there!  She did drive her sibling’s 914 before she got her driver’s license.

So, when they combined households, a larger garage was needed, which resulted in a new house with a six-car garage.

Marina and Brian are very active in the Las Vegas Region and have made many great friends through the years.

They also love boating and waterskiing, travel, and just about any outdoor activity.

As Marina says: “Never A Dull Moment”!
