My name is David Brooks and I am the Executive Director at Lotus Recovery. I was born and raised in Erie, Pennsylvania. I have spent the past 27 years of my career working in the addiction and mental health fields giving back what I have been given. I have been on Opioid Task Force Teams in both Erie, PA and Buffalo, NY. I have also been blessed with the opportunity to grow in all levels of care in addiction treatment leadership roles throughout Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Kentucky, and South Carolina. I am grateful to join the team at Lotus Recovery, whom are the most authentic, genuine, and passionate group of individuals I have had the pleasure to work with.
My educational background is a Bachelor Degree in Psychology from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and a Master Degree in Psychology from Capella University. I am also a Certified Clinical Supervisor in South Carolina and Pennsylvania.
In my free time I am an avid sports fan. Football is my favorite sport and I had the privilege to play semi-pro football in the MCFL for the Erie Hawks as a wide receiver. I also have a lifelong love of martial arts. I also have a great family and use them as motivation everyday.
