Dr. Weber’s personal hobbies and interests include competitive bass fishing, skiing, working out and gourmet cooking. He looks for opportunities to travel to Colorado and Utah any chance he has to ski during the winter months. During the summer, he travels throughout the Midwest on weekends and enjoys the quiet surroundings on many of the midwest lakes while bass fishing. He enjoys following girls high school volleyball games as both his daughters, Erica and Jennifer, played volleyball all four years at St. Francis High School. Erica is a graduate of the University of Illinois — Urbana-Champaign and is working at the law firm of Kirkland & Ellis in Chicago. She is currently in the process of applying to law schools. Jennifer is currently a sophomore studying business and playing on the volleyball team at the University of Alabama. Dr. Weber and his wife, Debbie, enjoy traveling to Alabama to watch Jennifer play volleyball during the colder months in the fall when Debbie is not teaching courses at Elmhurst College. Dr. Weber enjoys spending his free time with Debbie, as they discover what it means to be “empty-nesters” — or at least almost empty nesters!
Dr. Weber loves being an orthodontist and helping individuals achieve the smiles they deserve. One of his greatest pleasures is watching his patients mature and go off to college to pursue dreams of their own. Several of his patients have come back to tell him that because of their experience in the practice and the happy memories they have, they have decided to go on to dental school and possibly even on to study orthodontics. Other patients have grown and are now married and bringing their own children to see Dr. Weber.
