About Brooks
Brooks was raised in Bakersfield, California where he attended Frontier High School and spent most of his time on the baseball diamond. He was lucky enough to receive a baseball scholarship to Rogers State University in Claremore, Oklahoma. Upon graduation, Brooks returned home to complete his Master's Degree and coach baseball at Bakersfield College. He graduated with his Master's Degree in October of 2020 from Grand Canyon University.
Brooks discovered his passion for helping people while coaching and finds joy in helping people find financial security. Family is what is most important to him, and being able to be the asset his family, and many others rely on, gives him pride in the work he does.
While not in the office, you may find Brooks at many different local golf courses or at the USC home football games. Brooks also spends his time away from the office attending networking events, playing softball, and traveling with friends.
Lending a hand in my community.
As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.
Beads of Courage
Beads of Courage is an art-in-medicine program that helps kids with cancer tell their unique treatment story through colorful beads that are symbols of their courage.
How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
