Wendy Brown & Charley Cotter
Founders & Co-Owners

Charley and Wendy coached together at Madison Turners and Milwaukee Academy of Gymnastics before opening Madtown Twisters in June of 1982. Charley had been a gymnast and assistant coach at UW-Eau Claire. Wendy was a gymnast at UW-Madison. Their four children, all boys, have given them a healthy "parents" perspective in the role that sports plays for different children.
