Brought a singular focus to the role when he became head coach before the 1997 season: “The motivation stems from loving the Lord with all your heart, soul and mind, and being a servant," Brooks said. "It’s about building the scriptures into the program to where these guys understand their real identity is in Christ and baseball is a part of their life and an opportunity to put Christ on display.” Played collegiate baseball at San Jose City College and San Jose State University, where he graduated in 1990 with a degree in history. Drafted by the San Diego Padres in 1987, Brooks spent four years in the minor leagues (in which he played all nine positions) and was part of two championship teams. He also played overseas, competing for Turin in Italy. Was inducted into the Idaho Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999, his first year of eligibility. Spent time coaching at Meridian High School in Idaho, Santa Clara University, and in the Padres organization before coming to Master's as an assistant in 1995, using his expertise with hitters and infielders. His 1983 Meridian High School boys’ basketball team won the Idaho state title and was honored as the 2021 Idaho High School Activities Association’s boys’ basketball 'Legends of the Game'. That team was also recognized by MaxPreps as the greatest high school basketball team in Idaho history. Earned an M.A. in education from Azusa Pacific University. Serves as an Assistant Athletic Director at TMU. Lives with his wife, Carole Anne, in Castaic. They have two daughters, Taylor Anne and Emme, and a son, Nick, who played baseball for Master's between 2016 and 2019.
