Rusty Brooks is an International Keynote Speaker appearing on TBN, ABC, Radio shows, military bases, colleges, schools, churches, fitness and charity events across the country and internationally.

He served in the United States Marine Corps from 1998-2006 reaching the rank of Sergeant. He is a combat veteran of the 1st Battalion 7th Marines, Scout Sniper Platoon. In 2004-2005 in the Al-Anbar Province of Iraq, he was not wounded physically in Iraq, but rather broken by divorce and the mental toils of combat.

After he left active service and returned to civilian life, he was severely wounded by a drunk driver. He died twice in the ER, underwent 69 surgeries over a course of nine months to include the amputation of his left leg.

He traveled a dark road with alcohol trying to numb the pain within and loss of purpose in his life. After hitting rock bottom Rusty made the decision to accept Christ into his life. He put the bottle away and turned his life around 180°. He says,"Rock bottom is a good foundation to rebuild your life."

He has since grown spiritually closer to God walking the path of Jesus in Israel in 2017, and found his purpose in serving others. Rusty is a Christian counselor, the former Director of Mighty Oaks Warrior Foundation, the former CEO of the No Regrets Campaign, a public speaker, instructor, counselor, and aspiring author and Paralympian. He is also currently an on-call presenter for the Roever Foundation, which is an Evangelistic Non-Profit dedicated to Veterans and active service military.

As an amputee, Rusty not only speaks to inspire others but also seeks to inspire by physical activities such as white water rafting, zip lining, surfing, sky diving, obstacle courses like the Spartan Race, Savage Race, Adventure Team Challenge, etc. He says that after he lost his leg, that the greatest motivational words he heard was "When someone told me I can't." He believes that the biggest obstacles come from within, and that anything is possible if you have faith. "Renew your mind, and change your world."
