Bio
Brand Strategist | Nonprofit Leader

Andrew Brooks is a purpose-driven marketing strategist, community builder, and automotive enthusiast who blends horsepower with heart. With a career that spans blockbuster campaigns at Santikos Entertainment to grassroots impact through CarFest and the Community of Automotive Professionals, Andrew thrives at the intersection of storytelling, strategy, and service.

He currently leads marketing and growth efforts for Seymour’s Garage, DPF Solutions, and the annual CarFest event — an initiative that has returned over $3 million to the community through vehicle donations, technical school grants, and youth programs. He’s also the co-founder of L&A Impact, a consulting venture with his wife that focuses on education, business coaching, and legacy-building through service.

At his core, Andrew is a fixer — of brands, of broken systems, and of real-life vehicles donated to families in need. Whether he's launching a talent pipeline for skilled trades or crafting a campaign with creative wordplay, he brings vision, heart, and hustle to everything he does.

Andrew lives in Texas with his loving wife, Leanne, and their two amazing boys, Augustus and Garrison. Together, they believe in the power of faith, family, and doing meaningful work that makes a difference.
