Biographical Information

Growing up in Wappingers Falls, NY, Jake Weber's love for baseball started at just seven years old. From there, his athletic abilities grew through strength and determination and landed him a coveted spot on the USA Junior National Baseball Team following his high school graduation. As a team member, Weber was given the opportunity to play with several of the best baseball players in his peer group and experience the game on the fields of some of Major League Baseball's most famous ballparks. Although MLB teams scouted Weber upon graduation, he was determined to play the game in the collegiate arena while he earned his degree at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC. Weber went on to leave his mark at N.C. State through countless honors, including Freshman All-American, First Team All-ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) and Academic All-American.

Weber's successes at N.C. State led him into a seven-year baseball career where he spent time playing in the minor leagues with the Seattle Mariners, St. Louis Cardinals, Anaheim Angels and New York Yankees organizations.

Following his stint as a professional baseball player, Weber took a cue from his wife, then a dental student through the Army's Health Professions Scholarship Program, and began researching the Army's Officer Candidate School (OCS). Weber has been in the Army since 2006.
