Early life, education and adulthood

Joseph Larry Brooks is the third of three children born to Charles William Brooks and Grace Mitchell Brooks of Hiram, Georgia in March 1960. Brooks attended the University of Georgia from 1978 to 1980 before transferring to the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering in 1982 and Master of Science in Electrical Engineering in 1986.

Brooks married his Kellie Williams Brooks in 1984 and they have two children.

Career

Brooks worked as a student assistant at the Georgia Tech Research Institute while earning his bachelor's degree, and was hired as research engineer I in 1982 once he received his bachelor's degree.
