He has also been chairman of the finance, administration and intergovernmental relations committees for the Alabama League of Municipalities and the former director of cap­ital structure and invest­ments for Jefferson County.

Hooks was a member of the Homewood City Council in 1993 when Governor Jim Folsom, Jr appointed him director of the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs. Initially, Hooks said he planned to serve in both positions, but shortly thereafter he resigned from the City Council.

In 2003, Hooks became senior vice president of municipal finance for Sterne, Agee and Leach. In 2006, he became a managing director of public finance. He remained at the firm until 2010.
