Well known within the inspector general community, Dr. Weber has taught firearms and tactics to special agents of several agencies to include the Social Security Administration, U.S. Information Agency, Amtrak and the Department of Education. His love of teaching has prompted him to establish ProShooters LLC to provide firearms training to the civilian community. Always fascinated with firearms as a child, Dr. Weber’s mother once remarked, “Tim’s either going to become a soldier or a gangster.” Prophetically, he became an airborne qualified infantry officer in the Maryland Army National Guard. Dr. Weber began his civilian career with the federal government in 1983, as a uniformed police officer with the General Services Administration’s Federal Protective Service at the National Security Agency (NSA). In 1987, he graduated from the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s firearms instructor course. Promoted to sergeant, he was transferred to the NSA’s Security Protective Force. He was selected to become a special agent and during the Gulf War was assigned to the NSA counterterrorism “flyaway team.” He received a master’s degree in criminal justice from Jacksonville State University in 1997, and a doctor of education in higher education leadership from Nova Southeastern University in 2004. Dr. Weber first began competition shooting while a police officer, but only recently became a true advocate of the sport of NRA Action Pistol competition. This year will be his second at the NRA/Midway Bianchi Cup, the most prestigious, and arguably the most difficult, national level pistol shooting competition in the United States.
