Timothy Krehbiel

Timothy Krehbiel was born and raised in So Cal. during the 1960’s and 70’s. His love for buildings and design brought him to SciArc where he graduated as an architect in 1987.
After taking a break from architecture to tour Europe, Timothy returned to the US, and jumped into his other passion, vintage cars, and founded Automotive Restoration down in Laguna Beach where is spent 5 years developing his business.  He was persuaded by Nick Alexander, the Managing Director of the Woodie Collection to return to the Arts District to help him with the collection.

Tim met Bridget Vagedes in 1998 and it was love at first sight!  In 2004 they got married in the channel of the LA River, under the Sixth Street Bridge, witnessed by an audience of over 300.  Tim and Bridget purchased 428 S. Hewitt St. in 2001 and became adopters of the Artist in Residence Ordinance which allowed artists to live and work in what we know today as the Arts District thru adaptive re-use planning rules established in 1981.

After years of beautiful and organic changes to the property, in 2014, Tim and Bridget opened Resident, a local music venue, bar and neighborhood stomping ground which is a true community favorite.

Timothy is an active Board Member on the HCNC and is a advocate of Urban Forestry.
