PLAYA – INTERVIEW: HATEM DHIAB

Managing Partner At Gerber Kawasaki Wealth & Investment Management

1. Why did you choose to conduct your business affairs in the Silicon Beach area? How did you get there?
–Vibrancy, diversity, walkability and sense of community. Nothing like it in L.A. I was living in MDR for many years and didn’t even know about Playa Vista until a friend in Tech called me over in 2014 and said you need to check this place out. I was drawn in right away. I’ve seen the place flourish and develop over the years, truly an awesome transformation. I have made so many awesome friends just being there and that’s why it’s so special ultimately.

2. What would you have to say has been the forefront of your success in your career? How did you develop your process in your work?
–Questioning the status quo. Being in Finance you get told how things need to be done by the big firms daily. We knew being different, thinking for ourselves and being thought leaders as well as community focused and client centric will be the hallmarks of success. In a short 10 years we have built one of the most dynamic, progressive and diverse and successful investment firms with the aspiration to become the best in the world.

Our investment process is founded on the ownership of growing and sustainable businesses. We want to invest in the future and find the best growth opportunities while ignoring the short-term pressures of the stock market. Whether owning Tesla, Nvidia or Netflix, we want to champion and invest in the brands and entrepreneurs that are shaping the future and building the industries that are pushing the boundaries of innovation and human ingenuity. We are lucky to interact daily with some of the smartest entrepreneurs and thought leaders in the world, some of whom are our clients. Playa Vista is home to many of those leaders and exciting success stories which makes it a natural fit for a firm like ours.

3. In what ways have you seen the area change since you’ve been here?
–When I first moved, there was no Whole Foods and a lot of construction vehicles. Obviously all the new businesses that have come in since have all added to the sense of community and the vibrancy of the place. You feel like you don’t need to go anywhere. People also know about Playa Vista. You no longer have to explain where it is.

4. Where are your favorite places in Silicon Beach that aren’t well known?
–Joliet inside Free Market has become my favorite. You can pick up a sandwich or a croissant during the day or a delicious cocktail after 5:00 pm in their secret tiki-themed speakeasy. Listen to Jazz on Wednesdays or hang out outside to people-watch during the day.

PLAYA – BULLETIN BOARD:

1. ** Did you know that 25,000 of your neighbors read Playa Vista People each and every week?

2. ** A good idea was to use law enforcement officers to henpeck some of the local troublemakers so they’d move along and know they’re being watched but will never, ever, ever happen today. Sad. —- Derrick W., Westchester (Brother is a police officer in Culver City)

3. ** Car rifled through, some stuff stolen. My car, which I am 99% sure was locked, was rifled thru overnight. Some stuff missing, some good stuff left behind! I will report to police for informational purposes. Don’t keep anything you value in your car!!!! I have reported this information to the police. —- Jody Onorato, Loyola Village

4. ** Strange experience at Sage on Sepulveda and Washington. I went for dinner and asked the host if they were checking for Vax proof, and he said no. I asked why not, and he said that there was no requirement in Culver City even indoors. That seemed odd so I looked it up and what I found is that the city passed an ordinance in October making Vax proof required for indoor dining. I showed the host the article online and he said that the owners told him not to check because Culver City doesn’t have a law. —- Daniel Zivetz

5. ** Joe Biden is in over his head. Way, way over his head. —- Clarence L., Playa Vista

6. ** Humans are creatures of habit. WTF does that mean in a world increasingly dominated by automation? —- Emma S., Playa del Rey

7. ** It’s not a mystery. When criminals are emboldened because they are minimally prosecuted and sentenced, if at all, when police officers are vilified and attacked for doing their jobs and start looking the other way instead of doing proactive enforcement because they believe their work is futile, society swiftly descends into chaos and anarchy. —- John Hudson

8. ** C’mon. Really? Where do you find such out of reality people? The staff at CVS are incredibly nice and helpful. —- Irwin Mehlman

9. ** I love Playa Vista People. A weekly dose of intriguing news and information about my community and the interesting people in it. —- Ava S., Culver City

10. ** The music at Hopdoddy in Playa Vista is way, way, way, way, way, way too loud! —- Logan C., Playa del Rey

11. ** Main Street in Santa Monica is a pathetic ghost town. —- Elin P., Marina del Rey

12. ** In Santa Monica, trash fires are a code word for unhoused human-caused arson events. We have to regain control of our city and L.A. County must step up to actively assist every city in controlling illegal activity and behavior. —- Santa Monica City Councilman Phil Brock

13. ** Spectrum did a news piece that aired last evening showing what is happening at the Ballona Wetlands, and the ecological destruction of the Wetlands. https://spectrumnews1.com/ca/la-west/news/2022/01/16/rv-encampment-is-impacting-the-ballona-freshwater-marsh?cid=id-app15_m-share_s-web_cmp-app_launch_august2020_c-producer_posts_po-organic# —- Debra Huston, Westchester

14 ** Images of a blizzard of torn plastic wrappers, cardboard boxes, and paper packaging on L.A. train tracks have generated national attention. Los Angeles is a national disgrace. —- Dr. Grace P., Playa Vista

15. ** Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow…with a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. —- Oliva Z., Westchester

PLAYA – INTERVIEW: MARIA GALLI

Insurance Agent Galliagency.com

1. Why did you choose to conduct your business affairs in the Silicon Beach area? How did you get there?
–I love this area. It is where I live and where my kids have gone to school for years. I love the community that exists in the Playa Vista/Silicon Beach area and I wanted to contribute to the community where I could.

2. What would you have to say has been the forefront of your success in your career? How did you develop your process in your work?
–My biggest career success has been finding key hires, training them well, and developing their confidence and leadership potential so they can do a stellar job and take care of my clients with or without me. I started my business at the same time as I started building my family. I started my business and got married in the same month! Three kids later, I’ve had to be out of the office for up to six weeks at a time, even while my young business was in heavy growth mode. This wouldn’t have gone well unless I had a strong team to take the reins in my absence. It has fostered an amazing culture of professional and personal empowerment, which continues to this day. In fact, it worked so well that it inspired me to continue taking six weeks off every two years to reset, reflect, and truly connect with my family as we travel the world and become global citizens.

3. In what ways have you seen the area change since you’ve been here?
–I personally moved to the area back in 2007 so I have seen an immense amount of growth and change! I have been lucky enough to witness multiple phases of the Playa Vista community and watch it expand and grow into what it is today. My favorite part is the addition of the new parks and restaurants that I can visit with my kids. There is always something to entertain them!

4. Where are your favorite places in Silicon Beach that aren’t well known?
–Last year I discovered trail access to Playa del Rey beach from One West Bluff off of Falmouth. My kids and I can now ride our bikes to the beach and avoid the busy streets!

---

YES OR NO QUESTIONS:

Have you ever been snorkeling?
–YES!
Do you have a secret talent?
–If I told you then it wouldn’t be a secret!!
Did you have a pet growing up?
–I did! When I was really young we had a cat, but after she passed I didn’t have another pet until last year when we welcomed our new golden doodle, Twix, to the family.
Have you always lived in the same state?
–YES! I grew up in Rowland Heights, went to UC Berkeley, and then moved back down to Los Angeles.
Do you like baking?
–I do! But I enjoy cooking more than baking. Baking is so precise and I like to add new things to old recipes – which is easier in cooking.

One of the best eateries as well as staffed restaurants in beautiful (no sarcasm) Playa Vista is without a doubt…drumroll…“GULP.” Al has put his heart, soul, and innate class into this establishment. Throughout the darkest days of the Pandemic Pandemonium, he and has staff, worked with necessary changing guidelines to provide the proverbial neighborhood watering hole and place to hang your “Sinatra” hat! And managing to make THEE best steak sandwich, I’m not kidding or exaggerating for miles around. Knocks it out of the park every time. True. Like the old saying goes, ”if I want your opinion, I’ll give it to you.“ That’s why Gulp gets my vote. And a shout out to Sandoval is in order!! Al can’t do it all by himself, for God’s Sake!

Someone just broke in through our back bathroom window. Please, neighbors, be aware of the bold moves of thieves around us. They are watching us and know what is going on. My husband and I left our house this afternoon and as soon as the bad guys saw that no one was at home, they broke-in. Be aware. Watch out. We reported to the police a couple of weeks ago a person that trespassed our neighbor’s gate. They are out there watching us, waiting for an empty house to get in and rob our belongings. Keep yourselves safe. 8400-8410 Naylor Avenue, Los Angeles.

Man Arrested on Suspicion of Stabbing, Killing 77-Year-Old Stepfather in Playa del Rey:

A man was arrested on suspicion of fatally stabbing his 77-year-old stepfather and injuring a woman recently in Playa del Rey, Los Angeles police officials said. The stabbing occurred around 6 p.m. at a home in the 200 block of Redlands Street, police said. Alonzo Mansel, 23, is accused of stabbing his father after a verbal argument, injuring a woman in her 50s who was also at the home, then fleeing in a vehicle. The woman’s relationship to the men was not disclosed. KCBS-TV Channel 2 reported that the suspect struck a light pole at the intersection of Manchester Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard, about three miles from the home, and fled on foot. He was eventually arrested by Los Angeles Airport Police and the LAPD near Sepulveda Eastway and Westchester Parkway. The 77-year-old, identified Wednesday as Harvey Lee Huddleston, was pronounced dead at the scene. The woman was taken to a hospital in unknown condition. The Los Angeles Police Department did not have an update on her condition.

Killer Cafe Relaunched as Killer Shrimp:

In the former Killer Cafe space in Marina del Rey at 4213 Admiralty Way, the team behind Killer Shrimp will be opening their new venture. While the 24-hour American diner concept of Killer Cafe didn’t work out, the Killer Team is betting that their new take on food will be. According to Toddrickallen, rumors were that a sushi restaurant would replace Killer Cafe and renovations began in the space. Fast forward to December 2021 and the signs finally went up to identify the new restaurant as Killer Sushi. So, the name and the concept have changed, but the Killer Shrimp team has moved forward with a new idea in the space. It will be most interesting to see what the Killer Team comes up with.

What a dream! At Escape Day Spa in Playa Vista. Was able to schedule deep tissue the same day over the phone and street parking was super easy to find. The front desk was friendly and helpful. The spa is modern, cozy, cute, and clean. Asat was great at deep tissue, always checked in on me with pressure, and worked out some tight spots on my body. He was also very polite, asked me about allergies, injuries, areas to focus on, and if I had any questions. I look forward to going back for massages and trying some skin treatments as well!

Family Dispute in Playa del Rey Leads to Stabbing, Police Say:

A man was allegedly stabbed to death by his son after an argument escalated into violence in Playa del Rey, according to broadcast reports. Los Angeles Police Department officers were called at 6 p.m. Tuesday to a home in the 200 block of Redlands Street after a report that two people had been stabbed, including a 70-year-old man, said LAPD Officer Lizeth Lomeli. CBS 2 identified the victim as the father of the suspect. The father, who was stabbed multiple times, died at the scene, Lomeli said. A search was initiated for the suspect and police identified a man who they say matched witnesses’ description and drove away from the scene.
