Hansel spent much of his early career in the high-tech corporate world in and out of Silicon Valley and struck out on his own in 2011. From running his own rock music school for kids as a franchisee to developing Bay Area real estate, Hansel dabbled in a few things before founding theCoderSchool in 2014. He’s fluent in Cantonese (can fake it with Mandarin), is a published co-author (with Wayne) of two children’s coding books, and is an avid endurance athlete, having run the Western States 100 Mile race, and is currently an active Ironman triathlete. He’s even in the dessert business, having recently created and opened Cudos Frozen Custard and Mini Donuts with his wife. Hansel currently lives in Palo Alto with his uber-supportive wife (and business partner!) Lisa and three awesome kids. Hansel is responsible for company strategy, branding, technology, and franchising, and can be reached at hansel@thecoderschool.com.
