Brandon Veltri is in his third season as the Director of Operations at UC Santa Barbara. He assists with the programs analytics, video, team travel, and summer basketball camps. 

Veltri came to UCSB after a brief time as Assistant Director of Basketball Operations at Pepperdine. He spent the 2013-14 season as an Assistant Coach/Offensive Coordinator at Adams State University in Alamosa, Colo., and that one-year run came on the heels of a 10-year stint that Veltri spent at Carroll College, the last four of which (2009-13) were as the program's head coach. 

A native of Salt Lake City, Utah, Veltri earned his BS in mass communication/public relations from the University of Utah and his MA in physical education/athletic administration from Idaho State. During his time at ISU, he served as a graduate assistant in the men's basketball program.

Prior to his two years at the University of Utah, Veltri attended Peninsula College in Port Angeles, Wash., where he played basketball under the guidance of former UCSB assistant coach Mark Amaral.
