Meet Marc Brooks

Marc Brooks is the co-owner of Brooks CPR. He is a critical care nurse with 17 years of experience working in ICUs, emergency nursing, telemetry, and medicine. He spent 11 years working in Surgical ICUs where he focused on liver and kidney transplants and plastic surgery flaps. 

A Philadelphia native, Marc joined the Naval Submarine Force at 17 years old just out of high school. After his Navy service, Marc studied Nursing at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) for one year before pausing his college career and moving to Seville, Spain. After exploring Spain for a year, Marc returned to the U.S. to complete his nursing degree at IUP. With his new degree, he moved to New York City to work at New York University (NYU) as a Medical-Surgical nurse. Eager to learn more and help more patients, Marc started working at the Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx.

Now you can find Marc in Bergenfield, New Jersey, enjoying being a devoted father to his two children, Scarlett and Skye. After living in Bergenfield for the past 15 years, Marc is proud to be a resident of this growing New Jersey borough. With his extensive nursing background, Marc wanted to share his knowledge with others passionate about healthcare. This led to the start of Brooks CPR.
