Before Orlando, Brooks worked in Boston, Massachusetts; Denver, Colorado; Columbia, South Carolina; Houston, Texas; and Tampa, Florida.
Other career highlights include flying into Hurricane Sandy with NOAA’s Hurricane Hunters and covering Hurricane Harvey’s destruction across Texas and Louisiana, where his station was eventually destroyed by floodwaters.
When he’s not tracking storms, Brooks enjoys spending time with his wife Erica and their children, exploring the natural wonders of Florida.
