David Weber came to the Burton 4-H Center after completing a Master's degree in outdoor and environmental education from Northern Illinois University. Prior to that, David spent four years as an outdoor educator in Illinois and Indiana. David first fell in love with teaching when he was a middle school math and science teacher working for the Peace Corps in Gambia, West Africa. Upon returning to the United States, David found that outdoor education combines his two loves: working with children and being in the outdoors. Seeing the excitement in kids as they discover the wonders of the natural world gives David his greatest work satisfaction. On Tybee Island, David and his wife enjoy exploring the sur-rounding marshes and creeks by kayak, swimming in the ocean and playing sand volleyball.
