Don’t be surprised if you bump into Doug Emhoff getting a cup of coffee in L.A.
Emhoff was born in Brooklyn and raised in New Jersey, but he moved to Southern California in the early ’80s when he was only 17. He graduated soon after from Agoura High School and then got a degree from California State University, Northridge—“so I do consider myself a true 818’er, it’s in my blood.” Though he was hanging out in the area at a time he compares to Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Emhoff never picked up a Valley inflection, but he does occasionally slip into the remnants of a New Jersey accent when he’s around his mutha, as he animatedly tells me.
