Weir started skating at age 12 after watching it on television and felt inspired by the performance of 1994 Olympic Champion Oksana Baiul. He landed his first triple jump within a year and made it to the Junior Olympics in both freestyle and pairs (with Jodi Rudden) on the juvenile level in his first year of skating. Weir won the 2001 Junior World Championships, the first time he participated in the event. Weir practised equestrian sports but gave it up in order to focus on skating. He has a brother (four years his junior) who plays soccer in his school team. Weir admires singer Christina Aguilera and Russian figure skater Irina Slutskaya. Weir switched coaches following the 2006/2007 season. Coach Viktor Petrenko is the 1992 Olympic Champion.
