I grew up in the small town of Waterloo, NY. I have two younger siblings Cody and Chad Weigand. Cody is working for an auto company and Chad is attending high school both still residing in Waterloo. My mother (Lee-Ann), is working for the Geneva City School District as an accountant and cafeteria food management. My father  (Jeffery), works for the Geneva Housing Authority. Waterloo is located in the Heart of the Finger Lakes area.

While attending Waterloo high school, I went to a vocational school from 1999 to 2001 where I studied analog and digital electronics. As well as computer repair and basic networking skills. After graduation, I worked for the NYS Agriculture Experiment Station for 5 years doing HVAC Control Systems and backup for the primary network technician. While working at the Experiment Station I attended Finger Lakes Community College where I obtained my Associates degree in Computer Science. I left my job at the Experiment Station too become an RIT student full time to receive my Bachelors Degree in Software Engineering.

I currently reside in Newark, NY with my wife Johanna and our 4 children Jade (8 years), Joy (6 years), Samantha (3 years), Emelia (15 months), our two Great Danes, and two ferrets.
