Nick Brooks is the founder and owner of Outdoor Gear and Beer, an outdoor education based company that aims to get people in the outdoors while enjoying craft beer. He is the first born of triplets from Decatur, Georgia. He has always been drawn to the outdoors from an early age. As a young African-American city kid, activities like hiking, camping, fishing, sailing, horseback riding and virtually all things outdoors were just a normal part of his life. As an adult, he naturally found himself also working seasonally in the outdoor industry. He has also enjoyed partnering with local environmental organizations and working on different service projects around the Atlanta area and the southeast. Currently, he is a Scoutmaster for Troop 1906, proudly sponsored by the men of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. in East Point, GA. Nick also sits on the council for Outdoors For All, an event in Old Fort, NC who’s organizational mission is to provide a space for a diversity of thought leaders, industry partners, community participants, and outdoor enthusiasts to unite and discuss ways we can collectively work together to create a shared equitable outdoor community for all.
