Dragon Tales

Rodecker came up with the idea of Dragon Tales when solicited by Columbia TriStar to find a vehicle for his whimsical characters they witnessed at the Sawdust Summer Arts and Crafts Show in Laguna Beach, CA. He created a treatment for a prospective new series and Both Columbia TriStar and Sesame Workshop went in as partners to launch the series that aired on PBS and garnered three Emmy nominations.

Personal life

Rodecker was an educator for 23 years and served for two years as an elementary school principal on Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Rodecker now lives in Nevada City, CA with his wife Katherine.
