About me

Brendan with his wife and two children by a river

I grew up in Denver. My dad, Brian Winters, played and coached in the NBA. So basketball was always around 🏀

Growing up

I went to J.K. Mullen High School. We won the Colorado 5A state title in 2001.
I got zero Division I offers. So I did a post-grad year at Worcester Academy in Massachusetts.

Davidson

Then I went to Davidson. I started all four years, 2002 to 2006.

2005 Southern Conference Player of the Year. We went 16 and 0 in the conference that year.
Senior year we won the SoCon tournament. I scored 33 in the title game and was tournament MVP. That got us to the 2006 NCAA tournament.
1,892 career points. 268 threes, which was the school record at the time.
Davidson Athletics Hall of Fame, 2018.

Steph Curry showed up the year after I left. He broke my records pretty fast 😂

Pro Skills Basketball

In 2009, my Davidson teammate Logan Kosmalski and I started a one-week summer camp at Lake Norman, North Carolina. We were both playing in Germany then. Camp was our off-season thing.

We both stopped playing in 2011 and went full time on it.

I started as a coach and Charlotte co-director. Later I ran Charlotte and China. Now I’m a co-founder and the Chief Growth Officer. We also co-founded Team Curry with Steph.

Our year abroad 🌍

For the 2025 to 2026 school year, the four of us lived overseas. We lived out of suitcases: 4 big checked bags, 4 carry-ons, and 4 backpacks 🧳 We did it with Boundless Life. They set up homes, school, and a community of other families in each place.
