Abandoned As A Newborn And Called 'Dumpster Baby,' He's Now An Entrepreneur Worth Millions

Hours after he was born in 1989, Freddie Figgers was set down next to a dumpster in a rural area of Florida's panhandle.
A passerby found him alone and in distress, and called police.
The infant was hospitalized with minor injuries for two days, then placed in a foster home.
The couple who took him in, Nathan and Betty Figgers, lived in nearby Quincy, Florida, and already had a daughter.
Shortly after Freddie began living with them, the Figgerses - who often took in foster children - decided to adopt him.

In elementary school, Freddie Figgers said, other children would bully him and call him "dumpster baby" when they learned he had been put out with the garbage as a newborn.

"It's a rural area, so after it happened, everybody heard about it," said Figgers, now 30. "My parents told me the truth about what happened as I grew older.
I thought about it a lot as a kid, and I'd have to say it was embarrassing when I was younger."

His life hit a turning point when he was 9, he said, when his father paid $25 for a broken 1989 Macintosh computer at a thrift shop.
Nathan Figgers, who was a maintenance worker at Florida State University, brought the computer home and set it on the kitchen table so his son could tinker with it.
"He thought that a computer might help to keep me out of trouble," said Figgers.
His father was right.

Figgers took it apart and put in back together several times.
He figured out that he could get it to power on when he installed some components he found in an old radio that belonged to his father.
"I still have it," Figgers said of that first computer. "It's what sparked my interest in technology."

He'd gotten so good at tinkering with computers that when he was 13, the city of Quincy hired him to help repair its computers, he said.
When he was 15, he started his first company, Figgers Computers, repairing computers in his parents' living room and helping clients store their data on servers he created.

He was a self-starter and a fast learner. After building his own cloud database, he decided to skip college.
"I wouldn't recommend my path to everyone," said Figgers. "But it worked for me.
When I was 17, I had 150 clients that needed websites and storage for their files. I just kept building from there."

His big break came several years later, in 2012, he said, when at age 23, he sold a GPS tracker program to an undisclosed company in Kansas for $2.2 million.

Can they just stay over there, puh-lease????

Thanks for sharing. A great positive story of success.

That is a very uplifting, wonderful story.

We need more and I know there are plenty out there.

That is one of the best stories I have read in a long time. This guy’s story should be told in every classroom in the country.
