Hank Kao

Coach Ambassador

Hank Kao

Hi my name is Hank Kao, a rising senior at Troy Tech. I am interested in the functional and physiology side of medicine. Besides being certified in BLS and interning at clinics and hospitals, I am also the Co-Founder and CEO of the non-profit MedFuse, in which I promote preventive health through traditional-modern medical fusion to the community, especially for teenagers and families. Outside of the medical setting, I enjoy playing guitar, working out at the gym, and hiking with friends.

Jasper Chen

Founder and Product Architect

Jasper Chen

Hello athletes and champions! I'm Jasper Chen, a rising senior at The Webb Schools, and I'm someone who learned that even the strongest athletes aren't invincible. I've always loved pushing the frontiers of the human body and mind, whether that meant getting way too competitive in casual sports with friends, training for my first 70.3, or simply finding excuses to stay active every day. Beyond athletics, I'm fascinated by the relationship between the mind, body, and the ways we express ourselves. Whether I'm concocting emotion-provoking mocktails, playing jazz, or refining my "second brain," I'm constantly chasing the same question: what makes humans capable of performing at their best, and whether it truly matters?

Hey guys I'm Joseph Ong, and I am a sophomore at Claremont High School with a deep passion for patient care and community health. I am the community lead for the Teen Injury Initiative where I advocate for teen safety and injury prevention. I also volunteer at my local hospital, food bank, and for my troop. Looking ahead, I hope to pursue a career in the medical field to continue helping others live healthier and safer lives.

Workshops are designed by Jasper and led by our enthusiastic team, backed by foundational safety and experimental strategies.
