AJ Mendez Brooks is a New Jersey native, Florida transplant, and Illinois resident who complains about being cold literally every day. A former professional wrestler with the WWE, she has won numerous wrestling awards and championships as well as inspired a generation of young girls to wear sensible shoes. She studied film and television production at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts before they politely asked her to go away. AJ currently works with several animal rescue and youth oriented nonprofit organizations. She has been the mom of numerous rescue dogs, and exclusively adopts the system’s lost causes, because she is attached to her stomach ulcers. She lives with her husband, their dog, and her PS4 in Chicago, Illinois. Photo credit: Cathy and David Photography
