"Everything Movin' On Up"

When the stakes are high and the bases are loaded, Brooks Fuller might be the Auburn man you’d want on speed dial –  ready to deliver when it matters most.“It's a blessing to be here in Auburn,” Fuller said.Auburn tradition is a family affair for Fuller. His father, Mark, played baseball for the Tigers in the late 1980’s. His mother, Lori, also attended Auburn, cheering on the baseball team as a Diamond Doll.“Baseball brought them together,” said Fuller.Thirty years later, Fuller followed in his father’s footsteps, signing a scholarship with Auburn Baseball and Coach Butch Thompson as a pitcher in 2018.  He succeeded on the mound – and discovered a higher calling in the classroom.“I came to Auburn to be an orthodontist believe it or not,” Fuller joked. “I got to organic chemistry and God had different plans.”After reconsidering his academic path, Fuller transitioned to Auburn’s Harbert College of Business and changed his major to finance.“I come from a background of entrepreneurs,” said Fuller.  “So, I think it was in my blood.”As they say, hindsight is 2020.  But then came March 18, 2020 – and a big curveball for Fuller.“That's really when my life changed,” he remembered.Fuller was in the visitor’s baseball dugout at Wofford University when he learned the baseball season would be cut short.“My teammates went home across the country, and I grabbed my backpack and went home to Moore’s MilI in Auburn,” Fuller recalled.Back on Auburn’s campus, 4,800 dorm rooms were quickly evacuated. After seeing concerns being expressed on Auburn Parents Facebook groups, Fuller’s mother encouraged him to step up to the plate. “In May 2020, people started shipping their dorm room keys to my parent’s house,” Fuller explained. “With Auburn's permission, my brother Brady and I, masked up, gloved up, went into the dorm rooms, packed them and shipped items to families via UPS. We were shipping literally all across the country.”By summer’s end, Fuller and his younger brother had packed and shipped contents of more than 4,000 dorm rooms.When Fuller returned to classes in August 2020, he met New Venture Accelerator Director Lou Bifano and began networking with Entrepreneurs-In-Residence Dan Leonardi and Ward Swift.By spring 2021, Fuller began receiving text messages requesting his expert packing services once again. He started putting together his moving business playbook, eventually entering the annual Halloween Pitch and Tiger Cage Competitions.Fuller’s baseball season ended in May 2021, and his new company Room2Room Movers was officially incorporated the following month with office space in Auburn's New Venture Accelerator. Fast forward to 2026, Room2Room Movers is an established, growing company offering collegiate and commercial moving and storage services. As founder and CEO, Fuller says they’ve even expanded into more markets like the University of Mississippi. “We've built technology where you don't have to call the office to book,” said Fuller. “You can go to our website, build your inventory, pick your date and schedule.” Ironically, the former southpaw hurler doesn’t want to see anyone strike out on their entrepreneurial dreams.“It's important to put your business plan together, understand your financials and be patient,” he said.Check out our Everything Auburn Podcast Hub!
