Welcome to JAL Consulting

 Technical Theatre Educators Support 

This company was started to assist single Theatre Directors and Technical Directors with training on their own equipment in their own space and earn CPE teacher choice hours in the process.

Throughout my career as a Technical Director for High Schools and Stage Technician, I have come across many fellow directors who needed support in Technical fields. Many theatre teachers are fluent in Acting and Directing. When it comes to the Technical fields of lighting, sound, construction and counterweight systems, many directors may not have gotten a lot of training. Maybe a class years ago.  

Let me come and train you on your equipment to help you improve your skills and thus your shows and teaching your students. 

About Me

I fell in love with Theatre and Technical Theatre in high school. After graduating from Texas A &M in '92, I began work the following Monday as a stagehand for a local theme park. Working professionally, I became a crew chief, welder, electrician and rigger throughout my 6 years with the park. Following my time at Fiesta Texas, I became a Technical Director for San Antonio College. Finally, 2001 I came into the world of teaching Technical Theatre in a high school setting. For the past 23 years, I have been teaching this craft to students in their high school careers.  My motto became "teaching Bluetooth technology on  a rotary dial infrastructure"
