Hello, I’m Michael Brooks, and this is my about page

My name is Michael Brooks, and I’m primarily a full-stack website Developer who creates video and blog content.

I turned vegan a few years ago and started eating flexitarian diets to help the planet. Later, I decided I also wanted to help the animals, so I became fully vegan.

My love for personal blogging has lasted many years (over 12, in fact). And even though my blogging journey has been rocky, I have loved most of it.

Sometimes, we need a break to enjoy ourselves, which I do often. Sometimes, I find it hard to come back and start enjoying what I did before my burnout, but I eventually come back even stronger.

Coffee keeps me going throughout my days. I used to enjoy many energy drinks, but that has mostly stopped now. I only drink them now and then as a treat.

I am married, and my wife and I will move to our newly purchased home soon. As that happens, there will be more content about it.

It will be great with many new additions to the content I bring to you, including smart devices, saving electricity, plant life, gardening, and more.

What do I enjoy in life?

• 😸 Owner of cats
• 🎮 Playing lots of games
• ☕ Loves drinking coffee and tea
• ♥ Loves his friends and family
• 🏋️‍♀️ Enjoys working out with Crossfit
• 🎸 Mostly heavy metal, but does enjoy other music
• 💻 Developer, blogger and computer wizard 🧙‍♂️

Michael Brooks is not sponsored (but he definitely should be). I love creating videos, and I have done it for 15 years, starting in secondary school. I’ve created a mix of music videos, stop motion animation, vlogging, special effects and more.

I want to show my old content, but unfortunately, my old YouTube channel has been hacked, and I can’t get it back. Sadly, someone wanted to do that, but I still have new YouTube channels for my content.

One of my life goals is to eventually make money from the content I create—or enough money to live off of. Blogging and making videos are hard, but I’m hopeful that one day, they will just click, and my journey will be a smoother ride.

I also have a newsletter, which you can subscribe to using the form below. It would mean the world to me, and I hope you enjoy my content as you explore my website. Any interaction with my website makes me happy, even if it’s a like, comment, or a subscription.

If you’d like to learn more about me, follow me on Twitter. I’m always happy to talk.
