Early life and education

Weber was born in Toledo, Ohio. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Denison University and a Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School. Upon graduation, Weber began two years of service in the United States Army.

Career

After his discharge in 1958, he began to practice law. In 1966, Weber was hired as a law professor by the University of Toledo College of Law.

In 1980, Weber ran for Ohio's 9th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives. He defeated 26-year incumbent Thomas L. Ashley, chairman of the United States House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries. This was due largely to Ronald Reagan carrying Lucas County, home to Toledo. In 1982, however, he lost his re-election bid to Marcy Kaptur.[1]
