Classmate Update: Chad Weaver

After graduating from John Carroll, Chad Weaver attended Auburn University for two years before completing his Finance degree at the University of Alabama in 2002. He went on to earn an MBA from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2005, followed by three years of active duty military service in the United States Air Force, as a Medical Service Corps Officer.

After leaving the Air Force, Chad returned to Birmingham and accepted a position with the Internal Revenue Service. He went back to school one last time to take the necessary accounting classes required to sit for the CPA exam. During that time, he moved from the IRS to the Bureau of Fiscal Service, where he currently works as a CPA –  doing accounting, internal control, and enterprise risk management.

Chad met his wife Clarissa in 2001 when they were both in Tuscaloosa. They started dating until 2009 and they were married a year later. Clarissa will graduate from UAB with a PhD in Chemistry August 12, and the Weavers are looking forward to celebrating at the JCHS reunion.

Chad and Clarissa plan to relocate to Ann Arbor, Michigan later this year, because Clarissa accepted a post-doctoral research fellowship with the University of Michigan Life Science Institute. They have three pets – a cat named Holly, a white Boxer named Kama, and an American Staffordshire Terrier (Pit Bull), named Nicky Lou. In his free time, Chad enjoys traveling, tennis, and studying the JFK assassination.
