Weiss’ career began in the fire service which led to years of service in both fire and medical response. As a speaker, EG Weiss’ career took him on national speaking tours for over 14 years as he added severe weather research and tornado safety to his resume.  Taking on the role of a professional storm chaser for several television network entities, Weiss began to create emergency management programming for schools, churches and communities which led to larger speaking tours, eventually causing Weiss to narrow his focus on emergency management and disaster response.

​

In late 2003 Weiss created a disaster response team which later evolved (after Hurricane Katrina) into a tactical response unit designed to support law enforcement and other response teams. This specialty opened the doors for the opportunity to become involved in research and development for over two dozen rescue and response tool companies around the globe which Weiss still does to this day.

​

Currently Weiss stays active in consequence management consulting, research & development, forensic science and as a security/threat analyst while continuing to train and speak at conferences.  EG Weiss & Associates now has its offices in North Texas just outside of the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex.
