He served as Chief of the Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) at Evans Army Community Hospital, the first Installation Director of Psychological Health (IDPH) for Fort Carson, Colorado, and as Clinical Consultant for the Army Substance Abuse Program.[1]
Education
[edit]Born in San Diego, California, Weber enlisted in the Army after high school and served as an infantryman. He studied at the United States Military Academy, West Point, New York (1991-1995), where he earned a degree in Computer Science Information Systems and minors in Life Science (pre-med) and Management. In 2002 he graduated from Touro University College of Osteopathic Medicine with a Doctor of Osteopathy degree. His residency in Psychiatry was performed at Tripler Army Medical Center, and his transitional internship was at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.[2]
He is Board Certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology for Psychiatry (2009) and Board Eligible, American Board of Preventive Medicine for Addiction Medicine (2019).[3]
Career
[edit]Weber served active duty in the Army for 22 years and five years in the Army Reserve. Following his Army retirement in 2016 he founded a psychiatric clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In addition to his work at the clinic, he is concerned about the high rate of suicides in the veteran community. In response, he partnered with an agency to obtain treatment for those who may not have the financial means to pay for services. The Colorado Veterans Health and Wellness Agency is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that provides grant-funded mental health counseling and services.
