His education at both UCF and Full Sail inspired him to nurture both areas of interest, which has proved very useful in his career. His technical expertise coupled with his artistic sensibilities enables him to make effective business and creative decisions simultaneously. Born in Pensacola, FL to a family in the Navy, Brooks had lived in San Diego, Seattle, New Orleans, Bermuda and Hawaii by the time he was 13. It was that same year that the family purchased their first home computer and Brooks began tinkering, learning computer languages easily. Mechanically inclined and naturally curious, Brooks also got into cars and motorcycles. His fleet of cars and motorcycles are prized possessions as is his charming, never petulant, cat, Leroy.In his free time Brooks enjoys a variety of activities such as camping and riding his dirt bike or street bikes in the summer, or snowboarding in the winter. He also enjoys working on his house along with various projects to his cars and motorcycles in the garage.
