From overlooked to infrastructure builder
Dr. Weems grew up in an underserved community. Now he builds the infrastructure those communities were never given.
Dr. David B. Weems Sr., PhD, LPC-A knows what it means to be the student the system almost missed.
He spent years working his way up inside Title I schools — from teacher aide to coaching and counseling, and eventually Chief Technology Officer. That path — from the kid who almost fell through the cracks to the leader districts now call to modernize their technology — is the foundation of everything Whaley2Weems Consulting does.
Today, Dr. Weems partners with the institutions and communities that get overlooked: HBCUs, Title I districts, churches, nonprofits, and community centers — helping them access funding, modernize infrastructure, and launch STEM programs that stick.
Quote: “I’ve been where you are. I built my way out. I’ll help you do the same.”
What you get
Dr. Weems doesn’t just consult — he transforms. He understands our community because he is our community.
Discovery → Strategy → Implementation
You don’t get a generic “IT plan.” You get a roadmap built around your people, funding lanes, and capacity.
- Discovery: clarify the win, constraints, and timeline.
- Strategy: prioritize initiatives, budgets, and funding routes.
- Implementation: execute with your team and vendors, end‑to‑end.
Real classrooms. Real outcomes.
Why Mrs. Weems matters to this work
Norma Weems is a special education director with decades inside K-12 systems across multiple regions. She is both Dr. Weems' wife and his most honest peer reviewer — every program we propose for a district gets her lens before it gets yours. When we talk about "communities everyone else overlooks," it's not theory. It's the specific kids Norma advocates for every day.
Her presence in our work shows up concretely: classroom observations, program design for students with IEPs, educator empathy training, and honest pushback when something sounds good but won't serve the student.
