Doug and Brodie’s story began when their recently divorced parents met at an insurance adjuster's conference in Boise. Their parents quickly fell in love and got married during a layover in Vegas. Returning home, Doug and Brodie became stepbrothers and were forced to move in together. “When we first met, we hated each other,” Brodie recalls. “I tried to slash Doug's drum set with my Randy Jackson-signed samurai sword.” Doug adds, “I tried to bury Brodie alive in our front yard after a heated argument over the artistic merits of the show Baywatch.”
Despite their rough start, Doug and Brodie soon realized they had more in common than they thought, including a secret admiration for John Stamos and a shared love of Better Homes & Gardens Magazine. This unexpected bond sparked a fast friendship, and they knew they were destined to start a multinational tennis conglomerate, naming it Tennis Worldwide. They quickly raised seed money and focused on financial management, security, and technology. Notably, they introduced black leather gloves to the sport of tennis.
Just as their rise to the top of the tennis industry seemed unstoppable, a tragic maritime accident during a commercial shoot brought their dreams crashing down. Faced with lawsuits and boat repair costs, they had to shut down their business, famously declaring #TENNISSUCKS.
Months later, feeling dejected, Doug and Brodie sat at their breakfast table contemplating their futures. They knew their immense talent and business acumen were too great to waste. Just then, their dog, Mrs. Pickles, ran through the kitchen chasing a wiffle ball and leaped onto the table, stealing their bread and butter. In that moment, like many unexpected great moments in history, Doug and Brodie knew they had to revolutionize pickleball. Thus, the Bread & Butter Pickleball Company was born.
