Bobby Lehmkuhl

Born in Cincinnati, Lehmkuhl divided his childhood between Ohio and summers in Portland, Maine. When he was 16, his family moved to Malibu. His parents divorced, but he has lived in town ever since, save for his years attending Northeastern University on a baseball scholarship. In college, Lehmkuhl majored in business and marketing, but he dropped out of Northeastern and returned to Malibu. He landed a job working for Bert Boeckmann, a Ford Motor Company dealer in the Valley. He rose quickly to a position as general sales manager at Galpin Motors, managing the Jaguar and Aston Martin brands.

In 1989, when Lehmkuhl was 20, he began flipping houses and he continued to do so throughout his years at Galpin Ford. While his father was a detective by profession and his mother a registered nurse, both dabbled in real estate.

Bobby Lehmkuhl entered the Real Estate business in earnest in 2000, working for Coldwell Banker. In 2009, he started his own real estate agency, 4 Malibu Real Estate.
