Brandon Lowery was a professional athlete…but not in the sports he loved most. While he leaned into skate, snow, and surf, Brandon’s athletic ability aimed him toward a professional soccer life in Europe. A crash ended his soccer career and left him wheelchair bound for two years. His experiences as a traditional sport athlete inspired him to bring the same standards, opportunities, and audiences to action sports. Brandon is CEO of USA Surfing, the national federation for the sport of surfing in the USA. As president of the Global Action Sports Foundation, Brandon works to advance the support of action sports. He also develops private equity ventures, mixed-use real estate, and community programs. He serves on the Australian committee of One Young World, a global youth leadership summit, and on the board of San Diego Sport Innovators, a sports and active lifestyle industry group. He’s also a global ambassador for Lululemon.
In this episode of What I Wish I Knew with Mike Irwin & Simon Daw, Brandon talks about the lessons of culture and community he learned from sports and travel, the value of listening to understand others, and overcoming belief systems.
Brandon grew up in Banner Elk, North Carolina. He played college soccer at Wofford where he was also a triple major. He went on to play professional soccer in France and England. Following his soccer career, he moved to Australia where he started a private equity firm and built support for action sport as well as young leaders.
