James Francis Weber

James Weber was born in Cleveland, Ohio on April 14, 1931 and secured his B.Arch from Ohio State University in 1954. Between 1954-57 he worked for Richard G. Wheeler, AIA. He joined the AIA San Diego Chapter in 1957 and launched James F. Weber & Associates.

By 1962, Weber had established Weber & Associates in Pacific Beach. The firm Weber & Edwards (with Robert Edwards) ran concurrent with that firm – between 1963-1989. In 1966, it was announced that Weber & Edwards headed up the architectural division of Golf Course Inns of America.
