From a young age, Brooks was interested in how creating positive habits could impact people’s relationships and lives, leading him to take a Dave Ramsey class in high school. This early interest shaped his commitment to helping others work towards financial freedom.
Brooks finds immense joy in guiding clients toward fulfilling their financial goals. By deeply understanding their unique needs and conducting thorough research, he creates personalized strategies that help empower clients to move forward with confidence. Helping others realize the dreams they’ve worked hard to achieve is what Brooks finds most rewarding in his work.
Before becoming a financial advisor, Brooks joined the industry as a data analyst. He earned a Bachelor of Science in personal financial planning from Utah Valley University. He has passed the Series 7 securities exam and carries the Certified Financial Planner™ professional and Accredited Financial Counselor® designations.
Brooks believes that successful retirement planning is about strategy and enjoying the rewards of one’s efforts. His straightforward advice — “Do not be afraid to sometimes spend some money; you have worked hard for this moment”— encourages retirees to celebrate the milestones they’ve worked so diligently to reach.
Brooks and his wife, Kimberly, are the proud parents of two boys, Conner and Devin. The Gould family loves spending time outdoors, whether visiting the park, traveling to see family or sharing laughs over a good meal. Brooks also enjoys playing golf and basketball and exploring U.S. history.
