Hello! I am Eric Weaver, owner of Heavy D Driving School.

I have been a teacher for over 28 years, coach and driving instructor for over 24 years. I started Heavy D to help students year round to become courteous, responsible, and defensive drivers. I believe building confidence through deliberate practice of skills will develop safer drivers. I welcome the nervous first timers, experienced permit holders, and adults needing a little extra practice for a variety of reasons. We all share the same road. So join me in building this most important experience!
