Meet Brooks Campbell, a QCity Newcomer

Charlotte is a city brimming with newcomers.

By some estimates, about 120 people move here daily, making it one of the nation’s fastest-growing cities.

Brooks Campbell arrived from Clayton, N.C., almost two months ago, and he’s already enjoying what Charlotte has to offer. 

Occupation: financial analyst.

What are some of your hobbies?

In my free time, I enjoy watching sports. I root for the Washington Commanders, but going to a Panther game is on my to-do list.  I also collect shoes and listen to music.

What brought you here?

 I moved here to start my job post-graduation.

What do you like best about Charlotte?

 I really love the vibe that Charlotte has and how friendly people are. I enjoy being able to explore what the city has to offer, from restaurants to businesses. I also love the skyline view of uptown.

What do you like least?

 I really hate the traffic. Coming from a smaller city, I didn’t really have to deal with it, so it’s an adjustment.

How do you hope to get involved in the community?

 I plan to help the homeless community, something that I did a lot with my fraternity in college.

What’s been your most memorable moment since moving here?

I would have to say that going to Charlotte FC’s inaugural game was dope. The energy was definitely top tier. It just showed how big of a sports town Charlotte is.
