The forward was a two-time First Team All-MAC Commonwealth selection as well as a two-time D3hoops.com Second Team All-Region selection. He earned ECAC All-Star honors twice, and three spots on the MAC Academic Honor Roll.
Since graduation, Brooks has built a successful career as an International Talent Acquisition Specialist, which has taken him on many adventures—including living in Hawaii and traveling throughout Europe. He has a proven track record of leading high-performing recruiting teams in complex international markets and currently oversees talent acquisition efforts in Europe and the Middle East for a top global consulting firm. While living in Hawaii, Brooks remained connected to the game by serving as the JV Head Coach and Varsity Assistant at a local high school, helping lead the team to a JV Championship appearance. He also continued to compete in local leagues and pickup games across the island—until an ACL injury sidelined him. Since then, Brooks has shifted his athletic focus to golf but still finds time to shoot hoops and train when he can. He lives in Annapolis, Maryland, with his wife, Caitlin, where he balances his professional career with family life and a commitment to fitness.
