Andrew Szabo kayaks from Manhattan Beach to Tijuana, 

another step in his paced walk on the wild side 

The dunes are covered in concrete, the vacant lots swallowed by suburbia, 

and the alleys are prowled by police. Even the Pacific Ocean 

seems pacified: Surfing, once the pastime of drop-outs and derelicts, 

now comfortably draws hedge-funders to the lineup. Can the South Bay 

still howl with the call of the wild? 

Andrew Szabo thinks so. The Manhattan Beach resident came here from 

New York with his family in 2008. After some discussion with his wife 

about where in Southern California to live, they settled on the South Bay in 

order to be close to the coast. 

“We were supposed to live in Silver Lake. I said ‘Come on,’” Szabo recalled 

with get-over-yourself tilt of the head. 

Living here, he now thinks constantly of how easy it is to stumble into 

wilderness. 

“It’s just so unbelievably convenient to take my kayak out of my house, 

walk two or three blocks and be in the ocean,” Szabo said. “Not a lot of people 

can say that.” 

One Sunday last month, Szabo hauled his kayak down to the beach at 

29th Street and pushed it into the ocean. Unlike a typical jaunt, however, 

he would not return later that afternoon. He would be gone almost two 

weeks, kayaking from Manhattan Beach to Tijuana. 

Szabo, a Hungarian Internet entrepreneur, is a refreshing contrast to the 

modern adventure-lete, polished in a sterile gym and clad in fashionable 

activewear. He has wild hair and thick glasses, and when we met his casual 

ensemble betrayed no trace of sponsorship. His powerful upper body 

teeters over an injured knee, and is marked by the distinct appearance of 

muscle added later in life — an unchiseled burliness that suggests he could 

survive for a while if truly stranded. 

Szabo was an avid kayaker when he was younger, but abandoned the 

sport some 20 years ago after nearly drowning when his kayak capsized 

while going down the Danube River in Budapest. But he picked it up again 

last year, reinvigorated by the treasures lurking just offshore. 

He enrolled in a sea kayaking class at UCLA and, not much after that, 


announced his intentions to trek to Tijuana. 

Szabo’s wife Erica Lefkowits was hardly surprised. 

“Quite honestly I wasn’t really shocked. It goes 

along with his personality. He said he wanted to 

learn how to sea kayak. Then, ‘Oh yeah, I’m 

kayaking to Tijuana,’” his wife said. 

Having realized how easy it was to get in the 

water, Szabo quickly found he did not have to go 

far to find himself immersed in a new world. 

“People fly to the end of the earth, they fly to 

Antarctica to ‘go on adventures,’” Szabo said. “but 

they really haven’t seen all the coastline in a 200- 

mile radius, which is just as fascinating.” 

Of course, when Szabo says “people,” he means 

people like himself. 

On the road 

Szabo is the founder of the Budapest-Bamako, 

an annual event in which 400 to 500 participants 

drive from the capital of Hungary to the capital 

of Mali. On their way, they pass through everything 

from glitzy Monte Carlo to the harsh Mauritanian 

desert. Dubbed the world’s largest 

amateur rally, it is a road race in which contestants 

spend little time on actual roads. 

But what makes Szabo’s more passive vision of 

adventuring cohere is that for the most part they 

are not actually racing either. There are no stopwatches 

or checkered flags in the Budapest-Bamako. 

Contestants have designated start and 

finish points each day, while nights are often 

spent communally, sharing stories — how a river 

was forded, or how a car was flooded — over 

food, fire and drink. The rally, while taxing, is 

more about finding yourself in a new place and 

enjoying your surroundings. 

“It doesn’t matter how fast your car is, as long 

as you know how to drive, and you know how to 

take care of your car, and you know how to navigate,” 

Szabo said. “And how well you can get 

along with your partners for two weeks.” 

The inspiration for the rally came by accident. 

In 2004, while working for a mining company, 

Szabo travelled to Conakry, the capital of Guinea, 

on a business trip. He was scheduled to travel on 

to Bamako, but his plans fell apart. 

“I had a plane to catch on Saturday, and then 

on Thursday the airline’s only plane crashed. It 

fell into a swamp,” he said. 

He began looking into other options, and found 

few. There are no trains or car rental companies 

in the area, and bus service was limited. So he 

and a business companion spoke to a “local fixer,” 

hired a car, and drove across 36 hours of savanna, 

sahel and jungle. The experience was life changing, 

and he wanted to repeat it. 

“At first I wanted to enter the Dakar Rally. Until 

I realized it was not only way out of my league, 

but that it was organized in an old-fashioned, 

colonial, ‘We’re going to drive through your villages, 

we don’t get out of the car, we drive as fast 

as we can,’ style,” he said. “So I wanted to come 

up with a kinder and gentler rally.” 

For many of the participants, the Budapest-Bamako 

marks their first time in the backcountry. 

One such newbie was Sean Flynn, a North Carolina 

resident who met Szabo during the 2012 

running of the Budapest-Bamako. 

“It was my friend Dan, his buddy Art, Dan’s 

son Connor, and me,” Flynn recalled. “I think Art 

might have been the only one who had driven 

anything offroad before.” 

Caught in the net 

A longtime Greenpeace supporter, Szabo made 

the trek from Manhattan to Tijuana last month 

to raise awareness of unsustainable fishing practices 

among major canned tuna companies. 

“He doesn’t like to do anything for no reason,” 

his wife said. “He always likes to have some kind 

Mali is still emerging from a civil war that plagued the country, with periodic attacks still occurring. Soldiers in the Malian army offered protection for the 

rally’s participants. Photo courtesy budapestbamako.org

of a purpose or a cause.” 

Canned tuna processors have 

been under scrutiny for years. A sixpart 

New York Times series last year 

documenting slave labor practices 

and illegal fish poaching prompted 

Congressional inquiries into Thai 

Union, the world’s largest canned 

tuna company. (Following the 

Time’s revelations, Thai Union issued 

a new “Code of Conduct” in 

November 2015, and said in a statement 

they plan to increase the 

share of their tuna coming from the 

Proactive Vessel Register, an industry-sponsored 

initiative to promote 

sustainable tuna fishing.) 

The solution, Szabo said, is to rely 

more on line-and-pole-caught tuna. 

Although he admits this would 

drive up the price for consumers, 

and probably force a significant reduction 

in overall consumption, 

Szabo believes that the current 

model is not sustainable. 

“It’s just like cigarettes: Years ago, 

everyone smoked, people thought it 

was fine,” he said. 

The journey and the cause 

quickly began to intertwine. His 

route would take him through San 

Diego, where many of the U.S. 

headquarters for tuna companies 

are located. 

But it was not exactly an operation 

of military precision. Szabo 

charted out an 11-day course to 

tackle the roughly 130-mile distance 

— or about 150 miles with 

“zigzagging,” he estimated. He 

would camp at night along various 

portions of the California coast, 

hoping to avoid state park rangers 

for fear of being mistaken for a vagrant. 

The middle of the day was 

set aside for rest and granola bars. 

He paddled a pre-owned Current 

Design Storm GT kayak, a 17-foot 

long model no longer in production. 

He recorded his observations in a 

bound journal with laminated 

pages. 

Among the obstacles he encountered 

were rapidly rising swells between 

San Onofre State Beach and 

Oceanside Harbor, which nearly 

tossed him into the ocean. He also 

had to be on the lookout for military 

ships, and used his most advanced 

piece of technology — a marine 

radio — to inform the Navy that he 

came in peace. 

Navigation was done mostly by 

“keeping the coast on my left.” He 

stayed less than a mile from shore, 

and came even closer to Palos 

Verdes to take in the wildlife. 

“There’re just so many undiscovered 

places along the coast that you 

can only see from a boat — that you 

can only see if you stay close to the 

beach,” Szabo said. 

Racing for the future 

Szabo was greeted in Tijuana by 

friends waiting on the beach with a 

bottle of tequila. He took some time 

to decompress, and then drove 

home with his wife. Journey completed, 

the focus shifted back to the 

cause. 

There was no Kickstarter, no Go- 

FundMe, no social media linking 

his quest to the pocketbooks of 

strangers. Szabo wanted to focus on 

changing people’s hearts, minds 

and habits. He is working on a documentary 

about his trip and the 

tuna industry that he plans to show 

to schoolchildren, in hopes that 

they will ask their parents to pack 

something different for lunch.

“It’s so easy to say, ‘Ah, climate 

change is out of my hands,’ or ‘Arctic 

oil drilling, the politicians really 

need to do something.’ This is small, 

you can do something about it,” he 

said. 

Szabo is also working on organizing 

the Baja 4000, a rally slated for 

the coming January that will propel 

contestants from Los Angeles, 

down the Baja peninsula along the 

Sea of Cortez, and then back up 

along the Pacific Ocean. A portion 

of the race’s proceeds will go to 

Corazón de Vida, an organization 

dedicated to improving the lives of 

orphans in the area. 

“With the rallies, there is always 

some kind of charitable component. 

He wants to make it about more 

than just him,” his wife said. 

Szabo’s philanthropic impulse is 

matched by a kind of social engineering 

streak, in which the race 

becomes a tool to jostle the outlook 

of its participants. Every running of 

the Budapest-Bamako, for example, 

features a stage in which contestants 

are not given GPS coordinates. 

In villages whose names appear on 

no map, drivers and passengers get 

out of their cars, and talk to the people 

who live in the places they are 

passing through. 

“You had to go out into Senegalese 

bush and make nice with natives. 

That was a great day,” said 

Flynn, the former Budapest-Bamako 

contestant. 

The link between cultural exposure 

and international empathy is 

not as clear as it might seem. Contestants 

likely do not sign up for the 

Budapest-Bamako intending to save 

the world. (In Flynn’s year, money 

from the rally built a school in 

Guinea-Bissau.) But whether they 

plan to or not, participants are 

forced to slow down and get involved. 

“That, I think, is Andrew’s humanitarian 

genius. He figured a 

way to leverage other people’s adventurism 

and innate decency into 

providing real, tangible aid — and a 

lot of it — to people who desperately 

need it,” Flynn said. B

Motors + music + art

How South Bay Customs became the coolest place in the coolest town in the South Bay 

Every night during the dog days of the summer of 2007, a gunmetal 

grey 1950 Chevrolet pickup truck roamed slowly through the streets 

of Smoky Hollow. A long, tall, razor thin dark-haired man sat behind 

the wheel, surveying the buildings in El Segundo’s rundown warehouse 

district. 

Michael Schreiber was looking for a home. He sought a place where he 

could not only build motorcycles, but assemble something else, something 

he’d never seen before except in his mind’s eye — a pirate’s ship of a building, 

a skull and bones kingdom where he could make his own rules. He 

was prepared to make a stand. 

Schreiber had reached a make it or break it point in his life. He was 36 

years old and been building cars and bikes since before he was old enough 

to drive. He’d spent 10 years working as a mechanic for Harley Davidson 

shops but had constantly run afoul of his bosses. It wasn’t an issue of work 

ethic, or ability. Schreiber was a hard worker and a meticulous craftsman. 

In fact it was his commitment to his meticulousness that was the problem. 

“I was always having difficulties working with other people, because I 

thought I knew a better way,” Schreiber said. “But not out of arrogance. I 

would see something I saw as an efficiency, and I wanted to make it better….I 

would go outside the lines of convention. I was told, ‘Just show up 

and do what you are told — it doesn’t matter if it’s right, wrong, or indifferent, 

just one and done, let’s do it.’ And I couldn’t. So I ended up in a lot 

of trouble.” 

Being a mechanic was more than a vocation for Schreiber, but almost a 

spiritual endeavor. He was the son of a mechanic who’d grown up bouncing 

back and forth between Redondo and Lomita, and from the age of six would 

find machines and appliances in other people’s trash and start taking them 

apart and putting them back together. 

“I just look at something, and all I can do in my head, it’s like extra vision 

— I look into it and start thinking about how it works and take it apart, 

piece by piece,” he said. 

He quit his job with Harley Davidson before he could be fired, again. He 

knew he had to strike out on his own. His passion was to build motorcycles 

from the ground up, his own way, less overtly stylized than typical custom 

bikes. 

Schreiber had a partner in crime. His girlfriend Robbin Holden was an 

artist and a classic car enthusiast. Together they felt the stirrings of a different 

kind of vision for how they could build a life. He sold his beloved ‘69 

Chevelle, which he’d completely restored and owned for 15 years, and 

Holden sold her ‘62 Falcon. They took the money, paid off some debt, 

bought some equipment and moved into a little 250 sq. ft. section of a warehouse 

in South Redondo Beach. Thus was South Bay Customs born. The 

space, which was part of a strip mall, wasn’t big enough. Ten months later, 

a larger space opened at a friend’s warehouse in El Segundo, and they 

moved. This only lasted a year — the building sold, and they had 30 days 

to move. They found a temporary location on Franklin Street in El Segundo, 

but time was running out for South Bay Customs. 

Hence Schreiber’s nightly hunts. “I would just drive around every night, 

so miserable,” he recalled. “I knew I had to get out of it.” 

One night that September, he finally spied a “For Lease” sign outside a 

low slung warehouse on Penn Street. He called from his truck, made an 

appointment to see the place the next morning, and signed a lease three 

days later. 

He knew he had his work cut out for him. The first time he walked in, 

the word that came to mind was “dump.” The 3,000 sq. ft. warehouse had 

been occupied by an auto mechanic for several years, and then for the previous 

year it had been a bread bakery. 

“So it was a combination of the guy who didn’t clean up very well, the 

auto mechanic, and then the baker...he made a mess” he said. “You know, 

a little flour slurry everywhere. It was disgusting. I couldn’t sleep the night 

after seeing it. I knew.” 

But he also saw something else. The scale and feel of the warehouse was 

expansive enough to contain more than a custom motorcycle shop. He’d 

found his pirate ship. 

“I started seeing what it is now, just instantly,” Schreiber said. “It all 

came.” 

What South Bay Customs is now defies easy description. It’s a motorcycle 

shop, art gallery, music venue, and event space, but it’s also something 

more. SBC is an alternative universe, the distillation and perhaps evolution 

of some of the South Bay’s and particularly El Segundo’s proudest traditions 

— precision mechanics and a defiant but pronouncedly unbothered inclination 

to go one’s own damned way. Rock ‘n’ roll not as a musical genre 

but a way of life. 

Schreiber, to whom the idea of art was anathema prior to meeting Holden 

10 years ago, has been described in the custom motorcycle press both as a 

master of his craft and an artist. His reason for founding South Bay Customs 

sounds a lot like what many artists say about their calling to create art. 

“I couldn’t not,” he said. 

Writer Jack Kerouac famously wrote, “The only people for me are the 

mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous 

of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a 

commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn…” 

Schreiber is more of a slow burn. And South Bay Customs is his flame. 

“For some people, it’s going to to burn a way out of them if they don’t let 

it out. Michael is that guy,” said his friend Tony Goodreau, an El Segundo 

native and a musical mainstay at South Bay Customs. “If he didn’t do this 

he would wind up in a padded cell. And that’s an artist to me. You watch

true artists, like a great guitar player, and you 

think, ‘Man, if he wasn’t doing this, he’d catch 

fire.’ It’s like an exorcism. Michael does that with 

everything, whether he’s working, shaping metal, 

or putting on a show, putting together flyers… 

He’s intense that way. It’s definitely art to me, 

man.” 

South Bay love 

It began at Pat’s Cocktails II. 

Schreiber was having a drink with 

friends at the quintessential dive bar 

in South Redondo. Holden was likewise 

there with friends. She noticed 

a tall man at the bar. 

“I first thought he was cute, then I 

was like, ‘I don’t know,’” she recalled. 

“He kind of just didn’t seem interested...He 

was single, so he was 

probably scanning the floor.” 

Schreiber is, if not taciturn, selfcontained. 

He’s deliberate in most 

things, including whom he lets in his 

life. He was more interested in 

Holden than he let on. Within a couple 

weeks, they went out on a date. 

“So we met at another bar, and had 

the world's worst, most awkward 

first date ever,” Schreiber said. “I really 

couldn't wait for it to be over. We 

are not clicking, it was uncomfortable, 

and we ended up going our 

seperate ways that night. I was like, 

'Well, that is that, right?'” 

He didn’t hear from her until 

about a week later, on his birthday, 

when she called and left a message 

wishing him a happy birthday. The 

cool simplicity of it got his attention. 

He told his sister about the call. She 

told him he should give Holden another 

shot. 

“Who knows?” Schreiber thought. So he asked 

her out again. 

“That date went way better than the first one,” 

Schreiber said. “And now it’s been 10 years.” 

A photographer who shot Robbin Holden once 

described her as “the calmest person I ever met.” 

She’s a self-taught artist with a bent towards assemblage, 

steampunk and darkly Victorian art 

who knows every good swap meet and antique 

store in a 100 mile radius and pores over art and 

design magazines for ideas or art she can clip out. 

She knew she had her work cut out for her 

when she met Michael. 

“He and I are so opposite,” Holden said. “He 

hates art. I mean, he likes it now, but he hated it 

then. He thought we were a bunch of stuck up 

assholes who sit on our pedestals and judge people. 

All he wants to do is work on bikes and listen 

to rock 'n' roll, that was his thing. So it's been ongoing, 

but spending time and realizing that lowbrow 

artists are not the same ...it's just a different 

type of person. I don't have a degree and I'm not 

pretentious.” 

“I have to give Robbin credit for her influence. 

I was super naive to what art really even meant 

28 Easy Reader / Beach magazine • October 13, 2016 

or could be before I met her,” Schreiber said. “I 

kind of had this opinion that everyone who is into 

art is an arty kind of person. I thought they were 

sort of like snobs and they walked around with 

their pinkies in the air. It really quickly dawned 

on me when I met Robbin and saw the art that 

she does, and the art she appreciates, the way she 

decorates things -- I was completely wrong. She 

really opened up my eyes to what art is and can 

Robbin Holden of South Bay Customs, with Hank, chairman of the SBC 

Board. Photo by Michael Schreiber 

be, and even sort of taught me that I had a little 

bit of artist in me, even though I'd never recognized 

it, or even wanted to admit that what I was 

doing was artistic.” 

Holden’s idea of art wasn’t overwrought. She’d 

grown up poor in San Pedro and came to art more 

from necessity than some need to make a conceptual 

statement. 

“I hung out with poor kids,” she said. “So my 

view was just like, ‘Okay, this is what I do, how 

I express myself. I can't go to the mall and buy a 

shirt, so I'll just paint my own.’” 

Something Holden and Schreiber had in common 

from the beginning was a work ethic somewhere 

between relentless and outright insane. 

When Schreiber is on task, for example, sleep becomes 

inessential. He possesses an outsized capacity 

for single-minded focus. 

When the couple took over the warehouse and 

began its transformation into South Bay Customs, 

they dug deep. They scrubbed and scraped and 

painted and fabricated and assembled. Holden 

went into overdrive, scouring swap meets and antique 

stores, paging through her vast collection of 

art books and magazines, clipping and framing 

and hanging art. 

“For like a month, the doors were closed,” 

Schreiber said. “We decorated it, and started 

building it out. It resembled very much what it 

is now.” 

If you build it 

The building at 115 Penn Street calls little attention 

to itself. It’s a tan, single story brick warehouse 

adorned with two slanted metal awnings 

and a sign that says, “South Bay Customs” 

in large ornate lettering and, in 

a simple bold font beneath, “American 

Motorcycles.” There are two 

hints something unusual might be 

going on behind the glass front door: 

the 1950 Chevy pickup always 

parked out front, and a small rocket 

painted with the words “Motors” 

“Art” “Music” hanging on chains 

from the far right roof ledge. 

The experience of walking inside 

for the first time is something nearly 

every visitor remembers long after. 

The artist Holly Socrates moved to El 

Segundo three years ago to open her 

own gallery on Main Street, and people 

kept telling her she needed to go 

check out SBC. She was in the neighborhood 

one day and decided to finally 

visit. To this day, she can’t find 

the words to describe the experience 

of that first visit — the long hallway, 

thick with art, ranging from vintage 

horror movie posters to collections of 

old magazines (“The Radio Times,” 

“Woman’s Own,” “Punch”) to a 

photo assemblage featuring dozens of 

photos of midgets from the first half 

of the last century (one is stamped 

“Photo Roto Co of N.Y.” and shows 

two midgets boxing, with the caption, 

“Mike and Ike, twin midgets 

measuring 24 inches at 20 years 

old”). A bright red, old school popcorn 

machine a little further in has a sign that 

reads, “Please don’t feed the...” above a photo of 

Michael and Robbin’s dog, a very mixed breed 

named Hank (“pure bred awesome,” as Schreiber 

describes him), looking sadly popcornless. And 

then you step inside the shop itself, which feels 

like stepping back into some century that could 

have existed a hundred years ago but never did. 

Hundreds of photos, assemblages, posters (a 

bright colored Carter the Great magician poster 

exclaims, “Carter Beats the Devil!”), and motorcycle 

parts framing artworks (one Victorian Age 

man looks solemnly at you from one angle, then 

becomes a skull from another). A stage is at the 

front of the room, with a backline of amplifiers 

and a drum kit and dozens of professional-grade 

show lights above. The building further opens up 

into another, larger room, with a hoist and and a 

lot of other mechanical gear and a rugged looking 

but sleek, stripped-down motorcycle on display 

at the back of the room. (Dubbed “Death or 

Glory,” the bike is Schreiber’s masterwork, which

he raced on the Bonneville Flats, a 

“bucket list” goal achieved). The 

room opens to a sloping back deck, 

where there are picnic tables and a 

smoker (Schreiber has taught himself, 

with characteristic avidness, the 

fine art of BBQ). 

There are a hundred captivating 

details, it seems, per square foot. But 

as Socrates noted, the main feeling 

you come away with is warmth, because 

every guest somehow is invited 

to be complicit with this secret 

world Schreiber and Holden have 

constructed. 

“They are just good people,” 

Socrates said. “I just love that if you 

do what you love, good things will 

come — Michael is living it. It’s such 

a cool inspiration as a small business 

owner seeing that.”

was, of course, building motorcycles. 

Early on, he started hosting 

music shows -- both because of his lifelong passion for music, and in the 

hopes that people visiting for shows might become motorcycle customers, 

given the crossover between music and motorcycles. His first show was 

the locally based Irish punk band, Hoist the Colors. Word immediately 

spread throughout the South Bay music community that a new, legit musical 

venue had arrived. 

Elvis Cortez, the lead singer and guitarist of the Wilmington-based band 

Left Alone and the punk supergroup Transplants, remembers hearing 

about SBC and investigating. 

“I googled it, and was like, ‘Huh, it’s kind like a bike shop, but they do 

shows?’” he said. “I’m from the South Bay and I’ve been booking shows a 

long time and I’d never heard of this place...I showed up and was blown 

away just walking in. ‘Okay, it’s a museum, but also an awesome bike 

shop. And eventually I started playing there, and it’s hands down my favorite 

place I’ve ever played — and I’ve played a lot of places, from the 

House of Blues to Conan O’Brien to a hundred other clubs.” 

“I compare it to those little backyard places. The vibe is undeniable. And 

people you take there feel at home. No one disrespects you, everyone is

with every $500 purchase 

Now Carrying 

comfortable...the word is organic. 

People feel good there.” 

“That makes everything worth it to 

me,” Schreiber said. “The biggest 

constant I want to keep for this place 

is that no matter who walks through 

the door, they feel welcome, comfortable, 

like they can just come and 

focus on what's going on. They don't 

have to worry, 'Oh, am I dressed 

right? Is that dude going to give me 

the hairy eyeball? Am I cool enough 

to be here? Is this my demographic?' 

There is no demographic for this 

place. You'll have people who bring 

their kids, and you'll have middle 

aged kids, you have adults, you have 

senior citizens, long-haired, shorthaired, 

bikes, no bikes, tattoos, no tattoos, 

it doesn't matter. The only thing 

we insist on is you show up with a 

good attitude. Don't be a dick.” 

Schreiber, once he delved into putting 

on shows, did extensive research 

and obtained state-of-the art everything.

are as good if not better than

any full time music venue in Southern 

California. 

“There's probably more lighting up in those rafters in this motorcycle 

shop then there is in 90 percent of the venues in the South Bay, maybe Los 

Angeles,” Schreiber said. “That just goes back to my personality. I don't 

know how to leave things alone. Good enough is never good enough for 

me.” 

Cortez said SBC has established itself firmly on musicians’ maps throughout 

the country. Tim Armstrong, the lead singer of Rancid, has filmed 

videos there, and both local and nationally touring bands regularly grace 

its stage. Goodreau and his musical partner Neil Van Flue started playing 

there in SBC’s early days with their band Hangdog Expression. Their duo, 

Sanguine and Shiny, have become a house band in recent years. 

“It’s the best music venue in the South Bay,” he said. “We rarely play 

anywhere else, and it feels kind of weird when we do — like I almost want 

Michael’s blessing, ‘Shit, dude, I’m cheating on you.’ It’s just home for us.” 

An unexpected aspect of the business began about five years ago when 

a woman attending a concert was having the typical “Holy hell, what is 

the place?” first time experience at SBC. She asked Schreiber if he ever 

rented it out for private birthday or holiday parties. The thought had never 

crossed his mind. 

“I gave her the most confident look and I go, ‘Yeah, all the time,’” he recalled, 

laughing. “Because I instantly realized, ‘Great idea.’ In the 10 seconds 

it took to answer her question, I realized, ‘I need to do that.’” 

He gave her his card, hosted her event like it was routine business, and

was off and running in the event 

business. 

“Word started spreading and now 

it's more than 50 percent of my 

business,” Schreiber said. “Birthday 

parties, wedding receptions, record 

releases for bands, corporate holiday 

parties, bar mitzvahs — I'm not 

kidding, we do bar mitzvahs. So one 

day we have Tim Armstrong from 

Rancid and Hellcat records and 

then 24 hours later we've got little 

Billy celebrating his 15th birthday. 

That's how we roll here at South 

Bay Customs.” 

Socrates had a vision the first 

time she visited, as well. She instantly 

thought that El Segundo 

should host an Art Walk. Two years 

ago, she asked Schreiber if he 

would help. His answer, in her 

mind, would determine if such an 

event was feasible. He emphatically 

said yes. The El Segundo Art Walk 

just completed its second summer 

and has widely been lauded as the 

best event of its kind in the region, 

with over 30 businesses hosting a 

wide range of art, putting the little 

town on the map as an emerging 

artistic haven. 

Mayor pro tem Drew Boyles said 

SBC is emblematic of El Segundo, 

itself. 

“What is cool is what he’s doing 

— he’s actually building things in 

there, but he’s also got all this beautiful 

art all around, and music, this 

really cool combination of creativity 

and machines,” Boyles said. “It’s 

like El Segundo, and further to that 

point, what Smoky Hollow is becoming, 

reinventing spaces into 

something cool, fun, and creative.” 

Socrates still can’t quite describe 

it. She has one word of advice for 

anyone who wants to know what 

this curious motorcycle shop in 

Smoky Hollow is about. 

“Go,” she said. “Just go. You have 

to experience South Bay Customs. 

You can’t explain it to somebody. 

You just need to go and see for 

yourself.”

Chef Diana Stavaridis works with Deep Roots owner Jon Bell on raising produce for Stavaridis’ Manhattan House restaurant. Photos by Brad Jacobson 

Tby 

Richard Foss 

Farm-to-Table is used frequently in the local restaurant community, 

though many who toss it around find it difficult to say exactly what 

it means. Manhattan House chef Diana Stavaridis’ understanding is 

practical rather than vague and mystical. 

“I interpret that as a direct channel from the grower to the chef, working 

closely with the farmer, or even being the farmer yourself. That’s what 

I’m trying to do. I work with Deep Roots Garden Center. Right now we 

have a garden growing tomatoes, squash, radishes, cucumbers, carrots, 

chili peppers, chives, and Italian parsley. It really means something when 

the chef gets their hands in the earth, nurturing and developing varieties 

of fruit and vegetables that will be on the plate the day they’re picked.” 

Much of her produce is grown by the community, specifically district 

school children through a program she created with local nonprofit Growing 

Great. 

“At the moment I get about 10 percent of our produce from the garden 

at Deep Roots and some of the rest from the five elementary schools that 

Chef Diana Stavaridis plants 

seeds and ideas at local schools 

for the produce she serves 

at her restaurant 

have gardens. I’m going to be starting at Meadows this month, where 

I’ll work with a group of fifth graders for five weeks. We plan 

the menu with the students over a month before, because 

you can grow radishes and some other items in three to 

five weeks. Every month I run focus groups at a school 

and teach the kids what they’re growing in their garden. 

“I start with two sessions about what foods get 

them excited, what they like to eat, and then I engineer 

a program for them to put a dish on our menu. 

Last time we made Swiss chard agnolotti, and we brought 

30 kids here on a field trip and taught them to make the dish. 

For a whole month the kids are allowed to bring their families and 

come into the kitchen to make that dish with me. They love it. They get 

their name on the menu and they have the experience of being in a restaurant 

eating a dish they designed and cooked, made with herbs and vegetables 

that they grew.” 

The program teaches the children about nutrition, about ordering and 

dining in restaurants, and other elements of food security and economics. 

Many students have come up with suggestions to expand the program. 

“They’re interested in making sausages, cheese, smoking bacon… some 

stuff would take at least a half day and I’d like to arrange a field trip so 

that would be possible. They always want to learn more, they’re so excited. 

Some of them email me even a long time later and ask questions, so I know 

they’re still learning on their own. Many are now at Manhattan Beach Middle 

School and have asked me about doing classes there.” 

This program that connects children with ancient food skills came about 

in a modern way. 

“When I moved here I googled ‘elementary school gardens’ because I 

wanted to find out if there were any around here. The first thing that 


popped up was Growing Great. As 

soon as I saw what they were doing 

I knew I had to contact them. Jill 

Coons and Jennifer Jovanovic developed 

this program and we have 

quite a partnership going. They put 

the gardens in these schools, funded 

the seeds and maintenance and 

work to integrate the gardening and 

cooking into lessons about nutrition 

and food security. I love being involved 

in it. I love teaching and I 

love kids. I can sit and talk with 

them longer than I can talk with 

adults.” 

So she’s a hit with children, but 

that demographic doesn’t go out to 

fine restaurants often. Are their parents 

also fans? Happily for Diana, 

even though she didn’t grow up in 

the South Bay, her background has 

served her well. She is the daughter 

of a Greek immigrant who taught 

her about Mediterranean flavors 

and subsequently served under several 

great chefs. 

“I cooked for Neal Fraser at Grace 

in the mid-Wilshire area, then ran 

his BLD restaurant for about five 

years. Then I studied in Paris and 

London. My partners found me 

when I came back. They saw this 

space and knew they wanted to 

open here, but they needed a chef 

and a concept. My partners were 

passionate about what I wanted to 

cook: scratch-made, super seasonal, 

fun and playful on both small and 

big plates. I was an artist when I 

was a kid and almost went to art 

school and I’m very particular about 

how things look. You start to eat 

with your eyes, as the saying goes, 

and I want you to see each vegetable, 

see how it’s cooked instead 

of being hidden and buried. I have 

been drawn organically and naturally 

to creating a landscape look 

where you can see what you’re eating. 

” 

That hyper-seasonal, hyper-fresh 

agenda means that Manhattan 

House makes things that most 

restaurants buy. 

“We pickle our chillies, cucumbers, 

and radishes, infuse our own 

oils, and make all of our ice creams 

and sorbets. Same with gluten-free 

crackers, made with flax, pumpkin, 

and chia seeds, mushroom stock, 

and tomatoes. We cook down 20 

pounds of mushrooms to make two 

cups of stock - that’s enough for two 

or three days. And of course we 

cure our own meats and smoke our 

own bacon. 

We make 12 loaves of sourdough 

each day, 24 on weekends, six loaves 

of brioche every other day. We’ve 

been using the same sourdough 

starter for a year and a half and we 

feed it every day. The dough sits 

overnight to develop a great flavor 

and texture, which is the French 

style of baking. We cook it in cast 

iron pots to recreate the steam that 

you get from the traditional technique. 

We’ve had people from the 

community who have come to our 

back door trying to buy a loaf, and 

we have just started selling it to go.” 

After just over a year in business, 

Manhattan House is doing very well 

and Diana is full of ideas for new 

projects. There are plans to sell their 

pickles, condiments, and other 

items and she hinted that in time 

she and her partners might seek a 

second location in the area. She also 

has been asked to give classes for a 

new demographic: students who are 

a lot older and taller than her fifth 

graders. 

“We have a lot of adults who want 

classes in bread, brioche, ice cream. 

A lot of locals in the community are 

interested in classes, but I really do 

have to run a restaurant. I have 10 

students in that kitchen who are my 

most important people because they 

keep the place going. I have a great 

team here that is dedicated and 

great at what they do. Though I 

practically have to force myself to 

leave any time we’re open because 

I’m attached to this place, I know 

they can step in when I’m gone and 

could keep things going if I spend 

part of my time elsewhere.” 

In time, Stavaridis may open other 

restaurants and she wistfully mentioned 

her dream of someday cooking 

at a restaurant on a farm. For 

now she is focused on Manhattan 

House, her education programs, and 

the passion for surfing that brought 

her to Manhattan Beach long before 

she ever touched a stove here. Her 

uncompromising dedication to reducing 

the distance between farm 

and table is changing the way two 

generations think about food. B

Neil and Sanam Chhabria begin a new life toget her by following four centuries of 

tradition wit h a t hree day celebration 

Sanam and Neil Chhabria were married August 

20 in a traditional Hindu wedding, or 

Vivaha, that was the culmination of three 

days of elaborate rituals. Festivities began Thursday 

with an eight-hour ceremony in which the 

bride was painted with intricate henna designs at 

the groom’s family home in Palos Verdes Estates 

and ended Saturday with an exuberantly colorful 

wedding at the Hyatt Regency Resort in Huntington 

Beach. 

But the newlywed’s love story began, with considerably 

less grandeur, on December 18, 2010, 

at Big Mike’s Philly Steaks & Subs sandwich shop 

in Hermosa Beach. 

Neil, the son of local real estate icon Raju 

Chhabria and his wife Philomina, had invited his 

UC San Diego college friend, Diva, to a hip hop 

show he was promoting at a nearby Hermosa 

nightclub. His brother, Anand, was performing. 

His friend brought a few cousins, including 

Sanam, the daughter of Atul and Malvika Madhav 

of El Segundo. Diva called to meet before the 

show, and Neil asked the girls to join him at Big 

Mike’s, famed for its massive Philly cheesesteak 

sandwiches. 

Neil was in mid-cheesesteak when they arrived. 

He was immediately struck by Sanam. 

“I wasn’t expecting to really meet anyone, but 

Diva was bringing these two cousins and she 

called me. ‘Okay, cool, whatever — meet me at 

Big Mike’s so I can walk you into the show and 

you don’t have to pay cover,’” he recalled. “They 

show up at Big Mike’s and I’m chowing down on 

a sandwich. Then I saw Sanam, and got a chance 

to take in her beauty….It’s really corny and I feel 

weird saying it...They say the eyes are the windows 

to the soul, and I looked at her eyes and I 

could tell she’s a really good person. I don’t know 

how else to explain it other than I liked what I 

saw, and not just physically.” 

Sanam, a lifelong vegetarian, was less impressed. 

“I’m like, ‘Ew, what are you eating?’” Sanam remembered. 

“I remember him just going at it, and 

the sandwich was just so much meat. I was thinking, 

‘Oh god, this guy is like a serious carnivore.’” 

“She was repulsed,” Neil remembered. 

At the show, Neil kept his distance. “I think he 

wanted to see what kind of girl I was, what I was 

about,” Sanam said. 

But he couldn’t help but watch Sanam, who 

was 20 at the time, a student in radiologic science 

at Cal State Northridge. He liked everything 

about the way she carried herself. 

“I pretty much fell in love that night,” he said. 

The next morning, Sanam checked her Facebook 

to find a friend request from Neil. She accepted, 

and they chatted online; he asked for her 

phone number and she gave it to him. She realized 

from the outset his interest was romantic. 

“When someone sends you a smiley face, you 

know what it’s about,” she said. 

She thought Neil was a nice guy, but Sanam 

was so focused on school that she wasn’t even 

considering dating. In fact, she’d never dated; her 

priority was education and she didn’t want distractions. 

But Neil sweetly persisted, gently asking 

her out again and again over the next few 

months. 

The couple’s mutual love for the Los Angeles 

Lakers helped pave the way. He’d asked her out 

for Valentine’s Day, but she told him she thought 

it was a silly holiday. Instead, a few days later that 

February, Sanam agreed to go with Neil and a 

group of friends to festivities surrounding the 

NBA All Star Game, which was at the Staples 

Center that year. Over the course of the evening, 

she realized how much she really liked Neil. 

“I think he’s a very confident person, which I 

think is a really attractive trait,” she said. “He’s 

like that just generally in life, very confident, and 


that’s actually one of my faults. I’m not always 

confident in myself, and Neil is, always, and very 

positive. That’s why so many of his friends love 

him so much — he’s a very hard worker, always 

working, so he doesn’t have a lot of free time, so 

when he does come around his friends get very 

excited. That’s how you can tell he’s a good person.” 

After that night, the couple never looked back. 

They dated for the next five years, and it became 

increasingly clear they’d spend their lives together. 

Neil is a self-declared non-romantic. 

Sanam accepted this, but had one condition. 

“I am notorious for not being romantic,” he 

said. “Her one request was, ‘I know you are not 

romantic, but when you propose to me, you better 

be romantic.’ I was like, ‘Oh, man, I thought I 

was off the hook with her.’” 

Neil’s family goes to Hawaii every other year 

for his mother’s birthday. Sanam had never been 

able to go, because her parents, being very traditional, 

were not comfortable with her staying 

overnight. But last year, Neil had already asked 

Sanam’s father for his daughter’s hand and won 

approval. Her father also agreed to allow her to 

go to Hawaii, where Neil intended to propose. 

But as the trip approached, he realized he wanted 

to do it locally, so both families could be near. So 

Neil planned a pre-trip dinner out on August 16. 

His mother had designed a new fire pit at their 

home in PVE, and Neil had it fully decked out — 

everything was covered in rose petals and candlelit 

and a photographer was hidden nearby. He 

said he wanted to drop by his parents’ home before 

dinner. They arrived, and nobody was home; 

pretending to look for his family, Neil led Sanam 

to the back yard. As she approached the fire pit, 

he dropped to one knee. 

“I was so blown away about the way he did it,” 

she said. “The amount of flowers...I mean, I was 

just very stunned. I think the first thing I said 

was, ‘Oh my God, you are romantic.’ He’s like, 

‘Thank you!’” 

A year of planning led up to one of the grandest 

weddings the Peninsula has witnessed. Festivities 

began two weeks before the date with a dance 

party at A Spice Affair in Beverly Hills for Neil 

and Sanam and their friends. 

“It was an opportunity for Sanam and I to let 

loose and have a good time before we had to 

smarten up and host 600 people,” Neil said. 

Official festivities began the Thursday morning 

before the wedding, with special prayer ceremonies 

hosted seperately by each family. That 

night, the Chhabrias hosted a traditional gathering, 

called a Mehndi, in which an artist draws designs 

on the bride-to-be’s skin. Sanam thought 

this would take a few hours. As it turned out, it 

began at 1:30 p.m. and wasn’t completed until 

after 8 p.m. But as she sat, at first impatiently, 

she began to see the beauty of the occasion, and 

its purpose. She couldn’t move her arms, so 

everybody, including her groom, had to wait on 

her hand and foot the entire time. 

“It was cool to be queen for a day,” she said. 

“She looked like Jasmine from Aladdin that 

night,” Neil said. “It was one of the most incredible 

things you’ve ever seen.” 

Friday night a traditional Hindu dance was 

held at the Norris Pavilion in Rolling Hills Estates. 

“That was a traditional Indian folk dance, and 

since I’m Gujarati — It’s called a Garba, from 

Sanam prepares for her wedding. 


Gujarat state, where my people are from,” Sanam said. “It was really fun. 

A lot of people had a good time.” 

Sanam and her mother and cousins, in fact, went back to Gujarat last 

year on a shopping trip for wedding clothes for themselves and other members 

of the wedding party. “We went with four empty suitcases and came 

back with them all full,” she said. 

The wedding occurred Saturday at 10 a.m. and the reception was at 6 

p.m. in the ballroom of the Huntington Beach Hyatt. The wedding was 

performed in Sanskrit by Mahesh Bhatt, a renowned Hindu wedding 

priest, who took care to explain much of the ritual in a way that made it 

understandable to everyone present. 

“Our priest was a hit,” Sanam said. “He was so refreshing. He had so 

much wisdom.” 

The ceremony included 15 stages, beginning with Barat Swagat, in which 

Neil and his family were welcomed to the ceremony site by Sanam’s family, 

and ending hours later with Kanya Viday, when the bride and groom 

left their “Mandap,” the four pillar canopy at center stage (the pillars represent 

the four parents). There were nine bridesmaids and nine groomsmen. 

The bride’s brothers, Sahaj and Shakeel, gave her away. 

Neil, months later, is still dazzled by the experience, and by his new wife. 

“Number one, she is smart,” Neil said. “She’s got a good head on her 

shoulders and works hard. She handles her business and she’s somebody 

I can have an intelligent conversation with. I just enjoy being around her. 

And besides being smart and capable, she is the most loyal person in my 

life.” 

The future is bright for the young couple. Neil, 29, works with his father 

at their newly established Chhabria Real Estate Group, which was founded 

this year after the family spent the last two decades with Shorewood Realty. 

Sanam, 26, works for UCLA Health as a radiologic technologist. She’s also 

obtaining her real estate licence and helps with the family business on 

weekends. 

“I like my career but we can’t predict the future. I’m a part of Neil’s family 

now,” she said. “Of course we’ll do what’s best for the family.” 

In fact, an essential underlying theme the couple’s wedding rituals emphasized 

that the marriage was about more than the union of Neil and 

Sanam, but also between their families for generations to come. 

Sanam said one day recently her parents, who have felt somewhat bittersweet 

emotions since the wedding, stopped by her and her husband’s 

home in Hermosa Beach. 

“They were very happy, of course, but a bit sad,” Sanam said. “I’m leaving 

home, of course. When they came over the other day, they told me, 

‘When you have kids, you’ll understand.’ This is a big accomplishment, as 

a parent — to have your kid finish education, earn a degree, get a good career, 

then get married. You’ve accomplished your job as a parent.” B

Father and daughter lifeguards Mel and Jenna Solberg 

celebrate championships in 2016 

by Randy Angel 

Standing in the tower on the Manhattan Beach Pier, lifeguard Mel Solberg 

watched as a winter storm created waves so large that even 

surfers stayed out of the water. 

The date was Feb, 18, 1996 -- a day the 52-year-old Solberg recalls as the 

most memorable in his career as a lifeguard. 

“It was the biggest surf I have ever seen in Manhattan Beach,” Solberg 

said. “Waves were breaking past the end of the pier, reforming and breaking 

again. 

Although no one had been in the water that morning, in the afternoon 

Solberg noticed two girls standing on a sand bar not far from shore. Suddenly, 

a wave knocked them off and out to sea. 

Without a wetsuit, Solberg sprinted into the 56-degree water while partner 

Phil Topar called for a rescue boat from the King Harbor. 

“I thought both had drowned,” Solberg said of the Vietnamese sisters ages 

13 and 16. “I grabbed one of the girls and gave her my float but the other 

was submerged. I saw strands of hair floating on the water so I pulled her 

up.” 

She was unconscious and not breathing. His CPR brought her back to life 

and she made a full recovery after spending two weeks in the hospital. 

“The following day Phil and I met at the pool to swim.” Solberg said. “Recalling 

the rescue from the previous day, I said ‘That is why we workout 

and train.” 

Solberg’s heroics earned him the Medal of Valor in 1996. But the story 

with the happy ending does not end there. Fifteen years to the day, Solberg 

received a Facebook message from the girl he brought back from the dead. 

“She had been trying to locate me and was living in Southern California,” 

Solberg said. “We became friends and I even spoke at her wedding.” 

The story is one of many told and retold within the lifeguard community, 

which considers itself a family and includes many blood relatives. 

Along with Solberg, O’Donnell, Murphy, Fink, Makuta, Inscore and Gallas 

are just a few of the names of South Bay families not only in the lifesaving 

profession, but have enjoyed success in lifeguard competitions. 

The Solbergs, of Torrance, celebrated championships in 2016 beginning 

at the International Surf Festival in Hermosa Beach when Mel improved 

on his record number of Taplin Bell victories with number 18, as a member 

of the LA County-Southern team. One week later, Jenna was the overall 

point champion for women at the United States Lifesaving Association 

(USLA) National Championships held in Manhattan Beach. 


“The Taplin is such a team sport. 

You can have the best swimmer in 

the world but if the rest of the 

team members don’t pull their 

weight, it doesn’t matter,” Mel said 

of the competition that ends with 

each member of the winning team 

ringing the bell once for each year 

they have won. “I’ve been blessed 

to be a member of some great 

teams. It took me four years to 

make the team at Zuma, which 

was a dynasty in the 1980s. I won 

my first six Taplin Bell victories at 

Zuma. I really enjoy hearing athletes 

ring the bell for the first time 

because I remember what that 

meant to me.” 

Mel has also competed in the 

Nationals for close to 30 years. 

Rowing is his strongest event. He 

also represented the USA at the 

1990 Lifesaving World Championships 

in Hamburg, Germany 

with fellow South Bay lifeguard 

Tom Fink. 

“Legendary lifeguard John Baker 

was very instrumental in my becoming 

a competitor,” Mel said. 

“He was 50 years old when, needing 

someone to row with, I asked 

him to be my partner. Baker was 

tied with another guard at 12 Taplin 

wins. We won it all giving him 

a record at the time of 13 victories. 

I was so excited to get my name on 

the bell with John Baker.” 

While Mel has enjoyed years of 

success in competition, a moment 

dear to his heart came at the 2015 

Surf Festival when he and Jenna 

became the first father and daughter 

to be on the winning Bud 

Stevenson Intracrew Relay team. 

Jenna’s first competition as a lifeguard 

came during the 2013 USLA 

National Championship in Manhattan 

Beach and she admitted 

winning the 2016 women’s title 

came as a surprise. 

“It just seemed to happen and I 

was taken back by the outcome, 

doing much better than I expected,” 

the 21-year old said. 

“When I realized I was close to the 

top in points, I tried hard to stay at 

that level for the remainder of the 

events. Every second and every 

point counted so it was a new motivation 

for me.” 

Jenna’s favorite event is the twoperson 

board rescue. The swimmer 

goes out to the flagline and 

waves to the paddler on shore, 

who takes off for the rescue. Then 

both teammates paddle in together, 

on the same board. 

Her victory in the American Iron 

Woman competition – deemed her 

toughest event – sealed her victory

international competition. Photo by Ray Vidal 

for most points. 

Her accomplishment earned her 

one of 18 spots on the USLA National 

team that competed at the 

Lifesaving World Championships in 

The Netherlands in September. 

The USA finished 11th with New 

Zealand, Australia and France taking 

the top three spots. 

“We finished 5th in ocean events 

which was one of our better finishes,” 

Solberg said. “We had so 

many different personalities but our 

team meshed well. The pool competition 

was new to me but it was a 

great learning experience. In beach 

events, there was one day when I 

didn’t do so well, yet another day I 

met all my goals. I left learning new 

things while experiencing the ups 

and downs of elite competition.” 

Jenna said she always knew she 

wanted to become a lifeguard. She 

and her younger sisters Jillian, 19, a 

sophomore at UCLA and Anneliese, 

17, a senior at Chadwick High 

School, spent much of their youth 

on the beach hanging out at lifeguard 

towers and watching their 

father compete. 

Mel grew up with an aquatics 

background, swimming and playing 

water polo for Thousand Oak 

High School. He swam at Ventura 

College and the University of 

Wyoming. 

“I majored in Criminal Law and 

received my pre-law degree but 

my friends who were the happiest

were pilots, lifeguards or firefighters,” Solberg said. “I knew I’d come back 

to California. I applied for State and was in the top two percent of candidates 

but didn’t get hired. I took the LA County test and was hired. The 

minimum wage was $1.95 at the time and I could make $8.77 being a lifeguard 

so I told myself I’m going to work on the beach.” 

Solberg stressed the importance of water safety to his daughters at an 

early age, enrolling them in the Junior Lifeguard program. 

“The program has grown expedentially the last few years but only a small 

percentage actually become good enough to pass the lifeguard test,” Solberg 

stated. “When my girls were young, I told them they could not go to the 

beach by themselves until they had a minimum of two years in the Junior 

Guards.” 

Solberg feels the best part of being a lifeguard is making rescues, knowing 

that person would not make it home without his assistance. 

“There’s no way to realize how many times we rescue people each year,” 

Solberg added. “The worst part of the job is that you can’t prevent everything 

from happening. It’s a terrible feeling when CPR doesn’t work.” 

Solberg credits lifeguards such as Baker, Topar, Gary Crum, Jake Jacobsen 

and water polo coach Craig Rond with being major influences in his career. 

He also feels his involvement in competition has made him a better lifeguard. 

“Like fire service, lifeguards never know, or feel they know, everything,” 

Solberg said. “You can learn something everyday. I’ve learned a lot during 

domestic and international competition. Lifeguards in each area have different 

perspectives, rescue tools used and conditions.” 

Solberg said he is unsure about the impact of Global Warming. Jenna 

feels there have been more rescues in the last few years due to warmer 

water temperatures bringing more people into the water. 

“The last couple of years it seems we’ve had more riptides and we see 

more sea life coming back,” said Mel, who said Torrance Beach is his favorite 

location. “Santa Monica Bay is cleaner than it’s been in years. There 

are more sting rays, which are food for white sharks. Sharks have always 

been there. It’s just that more are being sighted, thanks to better visibility 

in the water, more standup paddleboarders and waterproof cameras. 

“The beach, ocean and marine environment is like no other. It’s a great 

job to have,” Mel said. “I can retire in three years but will probably work 

longer. If I stay healthy, I can compete in Nationals for the next 20-30 years. 

It keeps me inspired to stay fit.” 

Jenna has a ways to go to match her father’s longevity as a lifeguard. Her 

focus now is on finishing her senior year at UC Santa Barbara, where she 

is majoring in Sociology and is a member of the Gaucho’s water polo team. 

Jenna had a stellar water polo career at Chadwick High School, where 

she was twice named All-CIF and Prep League MVP. Named the school’s 

Female Athlete of the Year in 2013, Jenna set school records for most goals 

scored in one game and most career goals. 

She helped Huntington Beach Water Polo Club win a silver medal at the 

2012 USA Water Polo Junior Olympics, earning second team All-American 

honors. 

“The school itself was a perfect fit,” Jenna said of her decision to attend 

UCSB. “When I was in high school, one of my water polo coaches told me 

not to pick a school based on water polo because there was no way to predict 

things like an injury or coaching changes. UCSB provides an opportunity 

for me to do everything I want to do.” 

Jenna began her athletic as a soccer player but when she was 13, after attending 

a charity event held by Chance for Children, she decided to make 

the full-time switch to water polo. 

“My dad was urging me to become more involved with water sports if I 

wanted to be a lifeguard,” Solberg recalled. “Water polo was the best way 

for me to play in college.” 

Although Jenna said this will be her final year playing water polo, she is 

excited about her team’s chances of winning back-to-back Big West Conference 

titles. 

“We are coming off a big season, becoming the first UCSB team to win a 

conference title in women’s water polo,” Jenna said. “My first day back to 


school after returning from Holland, I was 

asked to give a speech at a pep rally. It was 

so impromptu and I was really on the spot.” 

Jenna said it was a dream come true 

when she passed the lifeguard test. 

“The toughest part of being a lifeguard is 

knowing there is a good chance that a rescue 

or situation won’t go your way,” said 

Jenna, who has spent the last two summer 

at Manhattan Beach and El Porto. “The 

ocean is a beast. You can’t control it. You 

can only anticipate what to do in certain situations.” 

“My favorite part is closing up the tower 

each evening, walking down the ramp and 

looking at the ocean knowing everyone 

went home that day.” 

Her most memorable day came over 

Labor Day weekend in 2014 when she and 

another female lifeguard were working at 

Dockweiler State Beach. 

“It was constant lifeguarding all day 

long,” Solberg recalled. “We were so busy 

that when I got home, I sat on the couch 

and told my dad about my day. He asked if 

I was tired and I said, ‘Yes.’ He replied, ‘But 

it’s a good kind of tired.’ I couldn’t stop 

smiling the rest of the night knowing I did 

my best and that a lifeguard can learn something 

from every rescue.” 

Jenna said her biggest lifeguarding influence 

has been her dad, who taught her from 

day one. She also has received inspiration 

from watching Tandis Morgan compete and 

close family friend Mike O’Donnell. 

An accomplished lifeguard and competitor, 

O’Donnell is the father of three daughters 

Kelsey, Erin and Colleen who have all 

followed in his footsteps as lifeguards. 

A few years older than the Solberg girls, 

the three O’Donnell sisters would watch the 

Solberg siblings when they were young. 

“Our families are so close. Kelsey and I 

are best of friends now,” Jenna said. “She 

was on the 2014 USLA team that competed 

in the World Championships in France. She 

told me what to expect and how to handle 

the competition and the total experience of 

my trip this summer.” 

After graduation, Jenna plans to move to 

Australia to train in lifesaving for one school 

year before returning to pursue a career in 

Environmental Humanities. 

“Growing up at the ocean, how can you 

not be concerned about the environment?” 

Jenna remarked “The Refugio oil spill (in 

May 2015) had such an impact on me.” 

Although Jenna has no plans to coach 

water polo or Junior Guards in the future, 

she does have some advice for kids who 

want to become lifeguards. 

“Just go to the beach as often as you can,” 

Solberg said. “Not just to train or workout 

but to appreciate all you can find and the 

adventures it holds. The more you love the 

beach, the more you’ll find joy in competing 

and working as a lifeguard.” B

T 

he prestigious International Academy of Trial 

Lawyers limits itself to only 500 active members 

worldwide. AgnewBrusavich, a South 

Bay law firm widely acknowledged for excellence 

in catastrophic injury and wrongful death 

cases, now boasts two of those 500. 

Candidates are nominated for the Academy 

without their knowledge, by existing members, 

and subjected to a year-long vetting process 

with judges and attorneys, including those they 

have been against in court. The process is focused 

on ethics, civility and excellence in jury trials. 

A candidate is admitted only on a vote of the 

full active membership, which is limited to 500. 

Members reaching age 70 become emeritus 

fellows. 

AgnewBrusavich partner Bruce Brusavich was 

recently admitted into the Academy, joining his 

partner Gerry Agnew, who was admitted several 

years ago. 

"Bruce and I are extremely proud - as members 

of the same small firm - to be fellows in this 

prestigious organization,” said Agnew. 

The partners’ list of honors – by peers, prestigious 

publications and rating services – are too 

extensive to list in this space. But that’s not 

enough for Agnew and Brusavich, who continue 

to vigorously pursue justice for injured victims, 

and to force businesses and government agencies 

to make changes that protect public safety. 

AgnewBrusavich 

Small firm adds to its worldwide prestige 

At the time of this interview, Brusavich was reviewing 

a traffic engineer's report in a case that 

will force officials to redesign a major highspeed 

intersection in Newport Beach, where bicyclist 

Debra Deem died in a traffic accident. 

Brusavich said the poorly designed intersection 

forced Deem, who was riding northbound 

on PCH, to cross what amounts to a freeway onramp 

to continue onto Newport Coast Drive. 

“Debra was an accomplished bicycle rider, 

who had recently retired early as a successful litigator 

with a large Orange County law firm to 

take a job as executive director of a battered 

women's shelter,” Brusavich said. 

He negotiated a large monetary settlement 

and, in a result important to Deem’s husband 

Paul, a commitment by officials to work with 

traffic engineers to make the intersection safer 

for cyclists. 

Advocacy for victims and families who have 

been injured in bicycle accidents has become 

a noted niche for the firm and its platform, Cal- 

BikeLaw.com. Agnew is a competitive velodrome 

cyclist and has won a number of state 

and national championships. Several successfully 

concluded cases for cyclists have also 

ended with much needed repairs and safety 

improvements on public roads. 

“We are very proud of those accomplishments,” 

Agnew said. 

The firm also represents victims of injury and 

wrongful death in all other types of vehicular accidents, 

medical malpractice, elder abuse and 

defective products. 

Agnew recently concluded a serious injury 

case for a cyclist injured in Palos Verdes, and is 

preparing for trial on a wrongful death elder 

abuse case. 

The attorneys were waiting to conclude settlement 

proceedings in the case of a teenage 

girl who they said was badly injured when she 

stepped into an unguarded elevator shaft and 

fell three stories at a defunct construction site. 

Brusavich said the site had become an attractive 

nuisance that drew visitors into danger. 

The attorneys also represent several patients 

of a now-closed Long Beach hospital that was 

caught in a large billing fraud scheme involving 

unnecessary spinal surgeries. 

New additions to the firm are two talented 

women attorneys, Puneet K. Toor and veteran 

litigator Terry Schneier. 

AgnewBrusavich’s extensive community involvement 

includes a 23-year old scholarship 

program that has helped more than 540 students 

with college expenses. Recent recipients 

included members of cycling clubs sponsored 

by AgnewBrusavich.

Baker, Burton & Lundy, P.C. 

Hermosa’s giant-killing law firm had its roots in friendship and the European mumps 

Kent Burton, Clint Wilson, Christine Daniels, Evan Koch, Teresa Klinkner, Brad Baker, Albro Lundy 

aker, Burton & Lundy, the small law firm with a big reputation and 

billions of dollars won for its clients, is celebrating its 40th birthday 

by expanding its storefront along Hermosa’s iconic Pier Avenue, 

where they are the oldest owner-occupied business. 

“We are so blessed with this location and this business,” partner Albro 

Lundy said. “There’s some magic going on, how it has all worked out.” 

The decorated law firm is preparing for its third expansion along the 

avenue, adding offices and a roof deck with a “lifeguard tower-esque” 

design. And the attorneys are continuing to vigorously protect their 

clients’ assets and security, and to fight for people unjustly harmed. 

A Partnership Begins 

The whole operation had its beginnings in a law school friendship and 

a truly evil case of the European mumps. 

The law school friends were Brad Baker and Kent Burton, who saw 

more of each other on the UCLA sports fields than in its law library. They 

each passed the bar, and Baker took off traveling to celebrate, while 

Burton started looking for a job. 

“While Brad was in Europe he got a really bad case of the mumps, 

and he thought he might die. He made a deal with some higher force 

that if he lived” he would be sure to work at a virtuous job, Burton said. 

“An elderly European woman nursed him back to health, and he 

came back and volunteered for Venice Legal Aid,” Burton said. 

Burton went to work for a large firm in Century City, where he was immediately 

sent to work major cases in the looming courthouses of downtown 

L.A. 

“I was getting my ass kicked. I didn’t know where to park. I didn’t 

know how to address the judge,” he said. 

“There’s this no man’s land between the attorneys’ table and the 

bench, and I didn’t know that,” Burton said. “I had some papers I 

wanted the judge to see and I started to just walk up to him, and the 

bailiff jumped up with his hand on his weapon. I was like a deer in the 

headlights.” 

Back from Europe, Baker decided to open his own office, so Burton 

eagerly signed on as a partner, and the two hung their shingle in a modest 

office in Venice in 1976. 

Hearing they could buy a building in Hermosa Beach cheaper than 

renting in Venice, they moved into the 515 Pier Avenue storefront previously 

occupied by Ray’s TV in 1980. Later in 1994, Lundy left a Beverly 

Hills law firm to join BB&L and became the third partner. 

Legal Victories 

Among its highlights, BB&L won $4 billion for California consumers by 

leading a high-powered legal assault on energy companies accused 

of illegal actions, which artificially raised the price of natural gas, contributing 

to the energy crisis of 2000 and 2001. 

In addition to high-profile victories, the attorneys have at times spent 

hundreds of thousands of dollars to battle cases that promised no profit, 

prompted by compassion for harmed victims and the desire to see justice 

done. 

Growing as a Firm 

Meanwhile, the old Ray’s TV storefront has been gussied up, and the 

BB&L offices continue to expand along Pier Avenue as more attorneys 

join the firm, which has become a Hermosa Beach institution. Burton devotes 

himself to real estate and business transaction law with attorneys 

Clint Wilson and Teresa Klinkner. 

Baker, along with bilingual attorney Christine Daniels, focuses on estate 

planning, probate and trust litigation, and has argued twice before 

the U.S. Supreme Court. Lundy is an expert personal injury attorney who 

has won an affirmative verdict from the state Supreme Court and works 

with Evan Koch, recognized as a Rising Star attorney by Superlawyers. 

“Sometimes it seems like all of Hermosa is our client,” Lundy said. “We 

are here. We’ve always been here. We always will be here.”

Lenze Kamerrer Moss, PLC 

Tight-knit partnership protects the unjustly harmed 

Jennifer Lenze and her partners of Lenze Kamerrer Moss, PLC have 

created a firm over the last year that displays high-level litigation 

skills and zealous dedication to their clients. LKM specializes in 

complex pharmaceutical mass tort drug and device litigation, as well 

as personal injury and employment law cases, striving to defend the 

rights of injured individuals. 

With three women at the helm including Laurie Kamerrer and 

Jaime Moss, LKM has a passion for cases that impact women’s 

health, such as a current case involving Essure, a permanent birth 

control device inserted into the fallopian tubes of a woman. The 

complaints filed by LKM on behalf of their injured clients include allegations 

of migration of the device, which can lead to the perforation 

of a woman’s uterus or fallopian tubes. 

LKM is also involved in litigation of talcum powder, linked to ovarian 

cancer in women, the blood thinner Xarelto, linked to internal bleeding, 

the diabetes medication Invokana, linked to ketoacidosis, and 

Bair Hugger, a warming blanket used during surgery, linked to surgical 

site infections. 

LKM aims to hold manufacturers accountable for the harms they 

cause and at best, help bring about changes in labeling to provide 

sufficient warning of associated risks. These cases can go on for years 

and involve hundreds or even thousands of clients across the country. 

Lenze said dedication, persistence, and a high level of organization 

are important in 

mass tort litigation. 

The partners 

at LKM have 

learned first-hand 

over the last two 

years about persistence, 

having 

come together 

through tragedy. 

In 2014 Lenze’s 

significant other, Paul Sizemore, was killed in a rafting accident on 

their trip to Aspen, Colorado. Shortly thereafter she became practice 

administrator of his firm, the Sizemore Law Firm, and with the help of 

Paul’s lawyers, Laurie and Jaime, held the firm together and transitioned 

to their new venture to continue the work Paul was so passionate 

about. 

LKM’S personal injury practice includes slip and falls, car accident 

and product liability cases. Employment cases include wage and 

hour violations, harassment, discrimination, and wrongful termination. 

“We are definitely a team,” Lenze said. “That is really important to 

us. We’ve all been through a lot together and it has created a firm of 

people committed to each other and to the work we do for our 

clients.”

BETI TSAI BERGMAN 

BUILDS PROBATE POWERHOUSE WITH PENINSULA LAW 

eti Tsai Bergman started Peninsula Law with the idea of creating a law 

firm that does one thing and one thing well, and that is probate law. 

Bergman believes that you can’t be good at any one thing if you try to 

do a little of everything. With that vision and her laser focus on probate law, 

Bergman built Peninsula Law into a probate powerhouse. Peninsula Law represents 

fiduciaries, beneficiaries, and families who need help planning, administering 

and settling estates. Peninsula Law embraces resolution of conflict 

and embraces trial when necessary. Peninsula then wins because it firmly believes 

in bringing out the truth. There are no smoke and mirrors. Peninsula Law 

does not ignore or hide the facts. Peninsula Law builds winning cases based 

on excellent legal analysis, strategic thinking, and masterful persuasion. Families 

come first and Peninsula Law vigorously pursues the wishes left by testators 

or trustors. 

Peninsula Law also minimizes long and protracted litigation or administration 

of an estate because it follows the same motto as Nike: “Just Do It.” The 

drive and goal on each case is to reach a quick resolution. Of course there is 

no controlling the court’s calendar, but anything that is within the control of 

Peninsula Law is addressed and handled with speed. Putting a task on the 

back burner is considered blasphemy within the firm. 

Another key element that has factored into the success of Peninsula Law is 

listening to clients and hearing what they have to say. Families are often perplexed 

after the death of a loved one and do not know what should be done 

or what needs to be done. If you add a contentious family member who 

comes forward to contest a will or trust, or who distrusts the person in charge, 

then you have an emotional struggle added to the confusion. Often the dissension 

can be quelled by educating the family members 

about how an estate 

needs to be administered 

after a death. 

Clients have consistently 

been satisfied 

by Peninsula Law’s 

approach to its 

clients. The testimonials 

posted on Peninsula 

Law’s website 

attest to this. 

With such ethics, 

Peninsula Law has 

earned a reputation of 

being one of the top-notch probate law firms in the South Bay. 

Legal secretary Thomas Allard, attorney Joshua Watts, 

attorney Beti Tsai Bergman, paralegal Hanbee Oh. 

Beti Tsai Bergman is certified in estate planning, trust, and probate law by 

the California Board of Legal Specialization and has earned an advocate 

designation from the National Institute of Trial Advocacy. Before earning her 

J.D. at UC Davis School of Law, Bergman earned a B.S. in applied mathematics 

from UCLA and an M.S. in applied mathematics with concentrations in 

partial differential equations and probability and statistics from CSULB. 

Bergman sustains active involvement in the community. She is a Probate Co- 

Chair of the Trust & Estates Section of the South Bay Bar Association, a past 

president of the Southern California Chinese Lawyers’ Association, and is longstanding 

board member and officer of the Asian Pacific American Women 

Lawyers’ Alliance. You can contact Peninsula Law for a consultation by calling

*Certified Family Law Specialist by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization **Certified Trusts & Estates Specialist by the State Bar of California 

+Chosen 2016 Super Lawyer ++Chosen to 2015, 2016 and 2017 editions of Best Lawyers in America© 

he founding partners, Chris Moore, Sharon 

Bryan and Becky Schroff, routinely earn 

Trecognition by their peers and by high-profile 

rating services and publications. But they practice 

their specialties of family law and estate 

planning as a people business, with sensitivity to 

the uniqueness of each client’s case. 

Moore, Bryan, Schroff & Inoue has been 

named one of the Best Law Firms by U.S. News & 

World Report and by Best Lawyers continuously 

since 2010, and received a Metropolitan Tier 1 

ranking in Family Law by U.S. News & World Report. 

The firm’s partners are certified specialists in 

their practice areas, and Chris, Sharon and 

Becky have been named Southern California 

Super Lawyers for many years running. They 

enjoy the highest rating for legal ability and ethical 

standards by the peer-reviewed service Martindale-Hubbell. 

Moore, Bryan, Schroff & Inoue 

Combining accomplishment with sensitivity to clients 

Bryan and Schroff have been selected by their 

peers to The Best Lawyers in America since 2015, 

and Moore since 2008. In 2015 Moore’s peers 

dubbed him the Los Angeles Family Law Lawyer 

of the Year. “To me that really is a significant 

honor. I was flabbergasted to receive it, because 

the lawyers who got it the year before 

and the year after me are two of the very best 

lawyers in Los Angeles County,” he said. “I’m 

humbled to be included.” Moore is a certified 

specialist in both family law and in trust and estate 

law. 

Bryan uses her expertise and sensitivity to her 

clients’ advantage, beginning with their initial 

meeting, listening carefully to what they really 

want regarding property, custody, the family 

home and the legal process. “Because so many 

clients ask about the process, I prepared a 

process map, really a flow chart, showing the 

various required and possible steps in the divorce 

process from filing the petition to the final judgment,” 

she said. 

“People facing divorce are typically scared. 

This is true whether or not they are the financially 

advantaged spouse, whether or not they are the 

custodial parent and whether or not they 

wanted the divorce or were shocked when 

being served with a petition,” she said. 

“I tell them the waters are going to be choppy 

at first...but the waters will calm down, and we 

will address issues in a reasonable manner.” 

Bryan said she is able to reach a settlement for 

her clients, avoiding a trial, in 95 to 99 percent of 

her cases. 

“I am an experienced litigator, but I am also a 

good negotiator,” she said. “My colleagues 

know that I am going to be reasonable, but also 

be tenacious in defending my client’s rights and 

positions.” 

Moore credits Bryan with “great instincts” that 

allow her to handle especially difficult and emotional 

custody cases. 

Both Bryan and Moore are trained in collaborative 

divorce, which aims to reach a settlement 

with the help of lawyers and neutral experts if 

necessary, and Moore is trained in mediation, 

and a founding member of the original collaborative 

law group in the South Bay. 

“Although parties are often deeply conflicted,” 

says Bryan, it’s very important to hire well 

established, well respected attorneys, because 

two good attorneys can and will settle a family 

law case. 

Schroff, who specializes in trusts and estates, 

uses her legal expertise to assist individuals and 

families make a plan, so they are comfortable 

“that things will be taken care of after they are 

gone”. In addition to estate planning, she handles 

trust administration, probates, conservatorships, 

guardianships and trust litigation. 

A lawyer must understand her client’s needs 

and wishes, and understand the law to craft a 

good estate plan. Clients who have lost a loved 

one are often overwhelmed by the responsibilities 

of being a trustee or an executor, “We can 

guide them through the process, take care of 

the legal requirements, and give them some relief 

as they go through a very difficult time,” 

Schroff said.

Rombro & Associates 

Human touch on the scales of justice. 

Attorney Roger Rombro holds the 

highest possible rating from the 

peer-reviewed Martindale- 

Hubbell Law Directory for a 40-year 

practice, which now focuses principally 

upon family law. 

Along the way, he retained a human 

touch that makes him the best lawyer 

he can be. 

“Spouses tend to be hurt in the initial 

stages of their separation. They tend to 

feel that they have failed, irrespective 

of whether they’re the spouse that initiates 

the separation. Each spouse has 

a huge sense of disappointment with 

their partner which slowly evolves into 

resentment and anger. 

Not surprisingly, each of them goes 

through a morning period recognizing 

that they have suffered a death in 

their family,”he said. 

“And there can be lots of reactive 

things going on. One side does something, 

to which the other side wants to 

react,” Rombro said. 

“Part of my job is to help people to understand 

their own feelings. I become 

both their advocate and their counselor. 

The counselor part of me wants 

to help them to see that they are 

going in a direction that is not in their 

best interest,”he said. 

“To a large extent, the lawyer must 

often do what a therapist would be 

doing,”Rombro said. 

“I try to keep the conflicts down as 

much as possible. Otherwise, people 

tend to spend huge amounts of 

money, draining themselves both financially 

and emotionally; and this is 

particularly true in custody disputes 

where people become so angry, that 

they fail to realize that they are hurting 

their children, rather than just their 

spouse,”he said. 

Rombro is certified by the State Bar as 

a specialist in family law, and he has 

recently been 

appointed to the State Bar Family Law 

Executive Committee. 

Before he went into civil practice, he 

served in the Los Angeles County District 

Attorney’s office, prosecuting 

everything from DUI to homicide in 

thousands of cases before state and 

federal courts. 

“I think our criminal justice system is the 

fairest in the history of mankind,” he 

said. “We go out of our way to protect 

the rights of the accused, and we also 

try prevent the suffering of victims, and 

to protect society.” 

Rombro and wife Joanna have three 

children and two grandchildren.
