Born on November 4, 1927, in Whittier, California, Jack Warner served in the Navy during the later years of World War II. Following his service, he pursued his passion for architecture at the University of Southern California, graduating from the esteemed USC School of Architecture. His architectural career began with the design of a health facility in his hometown. In 1966, Jack established the firm that would later become Warner Group Architects, Inc. One of the firm’s earliest and most notable projects was the transformation of a historic lemon packinghouse in Montecito into the distinguished Birnam Wood Golf Club clubhouse.

Although Jack is no longer with us, his vision and creativity live on through the iconic spaces he designed. His influence remains at the heart of The Warner Group Architects, inspiring the team to uphold the high standards of excellence and innovation that Jack established from the start.
