Jim Hall

Chief Executive Officer

After graduating from college, I joined my uncle’s small business which worked with teachers to take 8th-grade students to Washington, DC. In the first year, I drove the luggage truck and operated our envelope stuffing machine! I later became CEO and eventually partnered with other investors to buy the company from my uncle.

We expanded the company to provide educational travel and study abroad opportunities to students of all ages to over 100 destinations around the world. When I left the company, I returned to my alma mater to pursue a master’s degree in education. I completed my student teaching at a suburban Chicago high school where I taught 115 ninth graders Modern World History, and 24 seniors AP Macroeconomics.

I have had a lifelong passion for helping teachers and students excel. My dream retirement job is teaching!
