About Us

Born and raised in the South Bay, living in Redondo Beach since 2007.

Working to move us forward, one decision at a time…

Representing Redondo Beach since 2017

Real-life strategy to reach your goals.

I was overwhelmingly elected to be a City Councilmember in 2017, and again in 2021. My work in the community has been immense, working for the past 29 years as an LA County Lifeguard on our local beaches, with over 20 years as a Junior Lifeguard Instructor. I’ve owned and operated a computer business for 25 years, providing web services to a variety of clients. I founded multiple community groups, which focused on our quality of life and produced development projects more in line with our community.

  • Los Angeles County Lifeguard for nearly 30 years on our local beaches.
  • Junior Lifeguard Instructor for 25 years
  • Lifelong South Bay Resident

  • Small Business Owner

  • Two-Term, 8-year Councilmember.

We strive for diversity across the globe

Our Beach Culture is Vital

Born and raised in the South Bay, I moved to Redondo Beach in 2007. Working as a Lifeguard and a Junior Lifeguard Instructor on our local beaches, I found the beauty of Redondo Beach. My love for the ocean, from my boating background, swimming, surfing, fishing, and beach lifestyle kept me living here and fighting to keep our beach town, a beach town.

I work and play throughout Redondo Beach. I understand our community’s character and will make sure that Redondo doesn’t become a traffic nightmare like the west side, or the density of concrete canyons. Preserving the lifestyle of Redondo and balancing a sensible, sustainable growth is my goal.

Affecting State-wide Policy, Protecting Redondo Beach

State Representation

Real-life strategy to reach your goals.

Working on State wide policies such as Our Neighborhood Voices, I am ready to lead. From homeless issues, to waterfront issues, to mandatory requirements by the state, I am well-versed in the litany of greater-than-Redondo issues that will come our way.

  • Fully support the take-back of local control on housing and local zoning issues.

  • Will seek the necessary funds to improve our Harbor, Waterfront and Seaside lagoon.
  • Will work tirelessly to prevent the next harmful round of State mandates affecting Redondo Beach.

Endorsements -From your neighbors, to across the State of California

We generate results for our customers

“I am honored to support and be the voice for Bill Brand’s posthumous endorsement of Nils Nehrenheim for Mayor of Redondo Beach. When Bill knew his term would be cut short, he wanted his friend Jim to complete his term, Nils to be the next Mayor.

Over the long term, Bill regularly expressed confidence in Nils’ fierce passion to fight for the people first, and be the next generation to lead us forward as our next elected Mayor. Moreover, like Bill, Nils has made the principled decision to refuse donations or endorsements from those who work for or do business with the City.

Nils knows this City well, and as a notable President of the Independent Cities Association, Nils established successful working relationships with officials from LA County and throughout the State of California. These key relationships will ultimately benefit the residents of Redondo Beach, and I believe that Nils is best positioned to capture that support.”

–Deirdre West Brand

“Leadership is not about being in charge, it is about taking care of those IN your charge.”

“I proudly endorse Nils Nehrenheim to be the next Mayor of Redondo Beach. I’m excited to work with a leader who not only is transparent in the decisions that are being made but inclusive in the discussions regarding the choices provided that inform that decision.”

Public Safety Chair, Austin Carmichael

“Nils was instrumental in creating the pathway to refinance our pension debt. We are saving over $100 million over the next 25 years.

These savings allow the City to invest in infrastructure and maintain a high-level of service to the residents.”

“As elected officials, our word is our bond. Nils was the second President of Independent Cities Association from Redondo Beach, since 1976. He joined the Board in 2017, and reformed our organization from the ground up.”
