John Tudhope wears many hats, but most recently it’s been a Stetson. While en route to an American Literature degree from UCLA, John gained experience in standup comedy, journalism and screenwriting. A part-time job as a gardener throughout college led him to start a nursery business after graduation, while also working at a high school in East Los Angeles. LA Desert Ranch is his most recent endeavor, but not likely his last.

Marq Robinson, a self-described creative entrepreneur, got his start in the entertainment industry as a production assistant on set after attending Colombia College Hollywood for a few years. He gained experience in many different crew positions and even spent time as a stage manager, before starting his own costume rental company, Thrifty Rents, in 2017. With that same knowledge and skill set, he set out to launch LA Desert Ranch to provide affordable and unique sets for LA creatives.
