Former teams he has played professionally on:[2][3][4]
Billings' parents are David Billings and Daphne Von Essen. He also has a sister, Summer Billings and a brother, James Von Essen. He enjoys snowboarding, basketball, electronics, a little bit of golf, surfing and music concerts. One of the most defining moments in his life was being recruited and accepted to USC.[5] Majored in public policy and management at USC. His off-court goals include getting married and having a family. He considers real estate as a possible future profession. His most prized possessions are his family and his friends. One of his fondest childhood memories is spending all day at East Beach in Santa Barbara with his friends. He would like to have seen Sublime in concert. He says "a million dollar car-with wings" is the first thing he would buy if he won the lottery. He chose "mind reading" as the superpower he wants. His pet peeve is "when people drive slow in the far left lane on the freeway." In addition to being freakishly tall, Brook is known to be a good friend, at times, and cannot finish a jigsaw puzzle to save his life.[6] Brook is married to former UCSB Middle Blocker, Brett Quirarte. They are parents of a boy named Ford Michael (age 11) and girl named Liv Moon (age 9). He also has no idea how to edit Wikipedia.
