GERALD BROOKS

President and CEO

Gerald Brooks has three decades of experience in the financial industry, helping clients navigate the realities of money, responsibility, and long-term planning. Raised in a stable-income Houston, Texas household and shaped by team sports, he developed a strong foundation in accountability and discipline—values that continue to define his approach today.
Gerald played college football while earning a degree in psychology, a background that shaped his understanding of financial behavior and decision-making. After completing his bachelor’s degree, he returned home and earned his M.Ed. During that time, a chance encounter introduced him to the financial services industry, an opportunity that ultimately redefined his path.
Early success also exposed him to industry structures that did not always protect clients. The departure of his business partner—along with an attempted dissolution of his company by a key business entity—became a defining moment, reinforcing the importance of transparency, alignment, and shared values.
Rather than stepping away, Gerald chose to rebuild—strengthening relationships and refining how he serves his clients. His clients and team remained not by chance, but because they witnessed his integrity, work ethic, and refusal to quit.
Today, Gerald leads Momentum Financial Group with drive and discipline. He finds joy in helping individuals and families build financial security and create the forward momentum to pursue their dreams. His practice is rooted in his passion for helping people create freedom and a deep commitment to doing right by others. His approach is simple: turn complexity into clarity so each client’s legacy is positioned to endure.
