Brockington was born at the Grace Hospital to parents Bruce and Marilyn Brockington (née Hunt).
Brockington grew up in the Riverside Park/Mooney's Bay neighbourhood of Ottawa's River Ward and attended public schools in the community. He attended Brookfield High School where he was the student council co-president in his final year, and graduated in 1994. After high school, he attended the University of Ottawa where he obtained a degree in economics.
Brockington first ran for office for Ottawa City Council as he was graduating as an OAC high school student at Brookfield and starting his studies at the University of Ottawa in the 1994 Ottawa municipal election in Ward 8 (later named Mooney's Bay Ward). He turned 19 the day before election day, making him eligible to run for office. He campaigned in opposition to the building of government offices at Confederation Heights until proper studies could be done. He also wanted the preservation of parks in the ward, to keep taxes low, more funding for fire departments and police and opposed the tearing down of the Prince of Wales Youth Centre. He opposed building a casino at the airport. In the election, he won 535 votes, with 5% of the vote, 5th place behind the winner, Karin Howard.
Prior to being elected to city council, Brockington worked for 16 years at Statistics Canada. as a wholesale trade statistical analyst. He spent a number of years in the Education Division, managing a national education survey and publishing both pan-Canadian data and research papers on the same subject. Later in his career, he took on two publications related to international travel statistics.
In addition to his work at Statistics Canada, Brockington was also on the board of the Canadian Association of Professional Employees, serving for two years as national vice-president and three years as chair of the finance committee.
Prior to entering politics, he served as President of the Riverside Park Community and Recreation Association.
In the 2003 municipal elections, Brockington ran for a seat as a trustee on the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board for Zone 11, which corresponded to the city's River Ward. He ran on a platform of smaller class sizes for kindergarten to grade 3, the recruitment of "talented teachers and administrators", the renovation and the repairing of schools, having adequate resources for special education, French immersion, and English as a second language, as well as a "reinvestment in field trips". He was elected to the school board, winning 2,274 votes (41%), defeating opponents Marita Moll and Patty Anne Hill.
