5. Overcoming Adversity
• 2012-2015
• Moved to Austin, homeless living out of my
car till late 2013

lesson that forever changed my way of life…
6. So when discouraged, remember, If
you can win the sperm battle, then
you can also…
• Learn to code,
develop, and
• HACK any
software,
hardware, or
language!
• But, you will still
need help from
other sperm battle
winners called
humans… :P
