Build instruction that leads to public work.
I teach chorus, drama, journalism, and A/V technology with a bias toward production, ownership, and real deadlines instead of abstract exercises.
Classroom / Control Room / AI Systems
Jake Hallman builds useful media.
I teach students to ship real work, I direct broadcast production that has to hold up on air, and I build AI tools when the existing workflow breaks down. The value is the overlap: educator discipline, production instincts, and systems thinking in one operating style.
