Hi, I’m Robert B Hall. I’m a seasoned television director and instructional technology leader based in Tallahassee, Florida. Over the past two decades I’ve directed live broadcasts, led technical teams, and managed cross-disciplinary production and classroom technology projects for public television, higher education, and government clients.
I also teach unmanned systems at Tallahassee Community College, oversee user services for instructional technologies, and in my spare time I enjoy sailing, Italian sports car restoration, and flying aerial camera platforms.
