Rusty Weaver, born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1970, was raised in Vestavia Hills. He has been dedicated to and involved in Vestavia Hills for over 30 years.

Rusty attended Vestavia Hills Elementary East, Pizitz Middle School and graduated from Vestavia Hills High School in 1988. Following high school, Rusty graduated from the University of Alabama, Summa Cum Laude in Business Administration in 1992, and the University of Alabama School of Law, earning a Juris Doctor in 1995. He is an attorney/partner with the law firm of Weaver Tidmore and operator of a working farm in Etowah County, Alabama. He and his wife, Michelle, have two sons, Michael and Major. The Weaver family attends Church of the Highlands.

His belief in the importance of a strong family, community, local values and team work inspired Rusty to coach a variety of sports in the Vestavia Hills Parks and Recreation system over the last 10+ years, including soccer, baseball and JSYFL football. That same dedication to his fellow Vestavia Hills residents and families was the basis for extending his involvement to City Council.
