If you have spotted a French bulldog riding shotgun on a golf cart, ears up and entirely pleased with himself, you have already met part of this household. The little gentleman is Bijou, last October's featured pet, and these days he shares the cover with the two people who love him most.

Though they are neighborhood fixtures now, all three arrived from points well beyond Georgia. Rob grew up on Long Island, New York, while Hannah comes from southern Mississippi, near the Louisiana border. Even Bijou is a transplant, having begun his life just outside Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Rob and Hannah both build their careers at Gulfstream Aerospace, though their paths to aviation took different routes. Rob came to it through the Air Force, where he worked on fighter jets, and he brings a highly technical mindset to his work, drawing on a background in avionics and electrical systems and the precision you would expect from someone who helps keep complex machines flying safely. Hannah arrived from the cockpit side of things as a licensed private pilot, and that shared love of flight is part of what first brought the two of them together.

Away from the hangar, Rob keeps a full calendar. He has a genuine eye for photography that turns ordinary afternoons into something worth framing. When he is not behind a camera, you might find him at the gym, swimming at the pool, or chauffeuring Bijou around the neighborhood on the golf cart the family has come to call their own. More than a few neighbors have come to recognize the soft hum of the cart and the two perked ears coming around the bend. On the mornings Rob has off, the two of them, and sometimes all three, can usually be found at the nearby Starbucks, where the order always includes a pup cup for Bijou.

This is a household that has seen a good bit of the world, too. Hannah's earlier travels carried her for weeks at a time through Canada, England, and France, with a full semester lived in Italy and shorter trips to Germany, Switzerland, and Greece. Rob's passport tells stories from South America, the Middle East, and parts of Asia and Europe. Together they have explored Mexico and traveled throughout the Caribbean, and even Bijou is a seasoned traveler, having trotted through New Orleans and New York, where the bright lights of Broadway welcomed him to a show or two.

Closer to home, Rob and Hannah are regulars on the local sports scene, cheering on the Savannah Ghost Pirates through the hockey season and, more recently, the city's new women's basketball team, the Savannah Steel.

Hannah's own interests run in just as many directions. She recently completed her MBA at Georgia Southern University and a professional certificate in Data Science and Analytics from the MIT Sloan School of Management, both while working full time. This past spring she launched Serenics (www.serenics.ai), a soft technology company rooted in emotional health and wellness. Before aviation, Hannah spent a decade as a licensed massage therapist, and that hands-on understanding of how the body settles and calms became the heart of her company's first product.

That product is Roco, a palm-sized haptic companion device designed to help people feel grounded, and it is expected to reach prototype and early consumer testing this late fall. Fittingly, it has been a family project from the start. While Hannah was attending the Startup Grind tech conference in Silicon Valley in April, Rob built the earliest piece of the prototype, the small circuitry that gives Roco its gentle, heartbeat-like pulse. The name carries a quiet tribute, too. Roco borrows from Rob's middle name, Rocco, and blends robot and companion, and rock and companion, a steady presence you can hold in your hand.

There is a quiet symmetry to the way this couple complements each other. Rob lives in a world of systems and precision, while Hannah has spent her career studying touch, attention, and the way the body finds calm. Roco sits right where those two sensibilities meet, a small object that joins careful technical work with a real understanding of how people settle and feel held.

When she is not building a business, Hannah writes. She has been quietly assembling a collection of short stories, most of them set in and around Savannah, with hopes of seeing them published, and she is at work on a novel as well. Her fiction recently earned first place in an international short story competition, a reminder that the same person reading data sets by day is shaping Lowcountry characters by night.

What stands out about this family is not any single accomplishment but the way curiosity threads through everything they do: the problem-solver who notices light and shadow, the pilot turned founder who studies the nervous system, and the small dog who has become a neighborhood ambassador. Together they have built a warm, well-traveled home that values learning, creativity, and a good ride around the block.

They are grateful to call this community theirs. So if you wave them down on the golf cart, do not be surprised if Bijou gives a friendly gaze in return.
