This was the second marriage for each of his parents, giving Brooks four older half-siblings; Jim, Jerry, Mike, and Betsy. His parents had two children together, Kelly and Garth.
Brooks attended Oklahoma State University–Stillwater where he starred on the track team. He later completed his MBA from Oklahoma State.
At Brooks’s home in Yukon, Oklahoma, the family hosted weekly talent nights. All of the children were required to participate, either by singing or doing skits. Brooks learned to play both the guitar and banjo.
