Brad Weber

Hi, I’m Brad.

I am CEO and Group Publisher of a local direct mail magazine and digital marketing company Local Umbrella Media.

Years ago I was introduced by a friend to a book called The Go-Giver by Bob Burg. I was inspired by the message in this book to help create a world of abundance through service. I learned that we can all build a world of abundance for ourselves by helping others. The Faces of San Diego, in conjunction with our neighborhood publication, is a way for me to celebrate this community and the people here. I continue to learn about amazing local residents and love to help celebrate them. It’s a reminder that, if we were to all take pause and show interest in others, none of us would want for anything. Collectively, we have so much to offer one another.

The Faces of San Diego is a celebration of all the people who live here and positively impact our community in some way. It may be by their positive attitude and energy. It may be by the business they’ve brought to our community. It may be their role directly serving our community. The reality is, we have a great community because of the people who live here and I desire to highlight the great people here and introduce you all to each other. I hope that this project creates a closer community here in San Diego. and our local neighborhoods. I welcome you to join me in authoring the story of our neighborhoods, as told by the people who live here, one smiling face at a time.

At Local Umbrella Media, we’ve helped create and promote many local brands that you all may have heard of. I’m proud of the reputation we’ve built through our network of local community magazines and media print publications which reach well over 150,000 homes each month. We’ve also built websites, assisted in online marketing and social media, printed everything from business cards to multi-page custom magazines, and more for many local and national businesses. We support agencies and businesses all over the country with our publications, marketing, and graphic design team.

I’ve been a San Diego resident since 1984 and I absolutely love San Diego!
I also love my family, which includes my wife, Francine, a dog named Pierrot, and a horse named Quinn.
I am an avid outdoorsman enjoying our beautiful city and area. I enjoy reading and learning, but mostly I love people.
Loving people includes helping others which we do through our own nonprofit Local Umbrella Cares Foundation (www.LocalUmbrellaCares.com),as well as supporting a variety of local nonprofit organizations including with messaging and outreach to the community through our media channels. If ever I can help your local nonprofit in any way, please don’t hesitate to ask. Contact@LocalUmbrellaCares.org.
