My name is George Saines. I'm an entrepreneur and geek. I grew up in southeastern Ohio, where my parents were teachers and environmentalists. Despite their best efforts, I grew up to be a sports car enthusiast and capitalist.

I have degrees in Film and Economics. I frequently omit the former, even though I have a deep abiding love of film. 

I've started two companies: Skritter teaches students of Chinese and Japanese how to better learn and remember their characters. I started the company with my best friends from Oberlin Nick Winter and Scott Erickson. I was involved in that company 2008-2013, at which point I took on an advising role as a board member.

In 2013, I founded CodeCombat (YC W14), which teaches kids computer programming. I stopped working on CodeCombat in January, 2015. 

I've since worked at Salesforce, Meta, and Google.
