Rob Hache's past is varied and exciting. An accomplished world traveler, Rob speaks three languages fluently and can get around in another two. With only two television stations available in his rural home in New Hampshire, Rob had to find other interests as a child. He learned to rock climb, canoe, and play ice hockey, and he joined the ski team at his high school, where he became an accomplished ski jumper. After studying and traveling in Germany for two years, Rob attended Plymouth State College in New Hampshire, where he graduated cum laude with a degree in philosophy.

In 1993, he drove across the country to Los Angeles to keep a friend company on the drive. He liked Venice Beach so much he decided to stay...until now. Rob has worked in almost every aspect of the entertainment business: as a writer (The Big Stuff), sound editor (Rugrats, Rocket Power, Duckman) and art director (Puzzled), but he is first and foremost a cinematographer. His "Director of Photography" credits include Other Desert Cities and the music videos Vulcan and Take It Outside.


Emily Hache has a passion for beauty in all of its forms: music, art, crafts, good food and drink, and the natural world. Emily was born and raised in the heart of the Midwest, where she developed a love of storytelling and theater. After graduating from Northwestern University with a theater major, she produced plays in Chicago. In 1993, she moved to Los Angeles, where she pursued her career as a development executive until being convinced to move into a 1977 GMC motor home named Murray.

Emily started her career with renowned animation house Klasky Csupo, where she worked on several projects, including The Wild Thornberrys, Santo Bugito, and The Rugrats Movie. Her next move was to DreamWorks Television Animation, where she managed all of the series development, including Invasion America for the WB and Toonsylvania for Fox Kids. Her last "real" job before hitting the road was with Nickelodeon, where she developed and managed several series, including The Fairly OddParents and Rocket Power.


Dudley is the Haches' small, brown, sweet mutt-of-a-dog. He travels almost everywhere with them and is both devoted and protective. The Haches rescued Dudley when he was six months old, so his origins are a mystery to everyone but him. (Any ideas about what breeds he might be are welcome!) But he's smart as a whip (or is it whippet?) and can get almost anything he wants with a well-executed gaze from his sympathy-inducing big, brown eyes.

Living with the Haches, Dudley has developed some helpful and polished skills. He's an expert at chasing, catching and retrieving Frisbees and balls, and he knows about 20 commands. In fact, he's more than willing to learn even more as long as the right biscuit is within reward range. Much like his owners, Dudley also has his own quest: to count every head of cattle in North America. Whenever he sees such bovine attractions out of Murray's window, he sits up and stares, nostrils awaiting an identifying, manure-rich scent.
