JAKE

Hi, I’m Jake Hallen! I’m a high school student from the small town of Tracy, California, where I grew up as the youngest of three. From an early age, I’ve found real joy in creating things that bring people together and make a positive impact. My first “business” was run out of my bedroom, with my family as my only customers, and by nine, I’d launched my first real venture.

​

I was diagnosed with severe ADHD in kindergarten, and it was tough watching others move through life without the same challenges. Over time, I found strength in it, and I’ve channeled that energy into building projects that bring joy to others. Since I was around 10, I’ve been running annual projects that give people something to smile about.

​

I believe life has far too much to offer to ever sit still. That’s why I love what I get to do.
