At age 16, Fabian emancipated himself from his adoptive parents. He dropped out of high school and became a father for the first time by age 20. For a time, he and his then-girlfriend lived off food stamps, occasionally resorting to stealing diapers and other supplies for their baby, he says.
After nearly three years at Groupon, Fabian stepped away from the tech world to focus on another passion: gaming. As a teenager, Fabian achieved a national ranking among the country's top"Yu-Gi-Oh!" players. By 2016, he was spending eight hours per day playing online games like"Clash Royale" and"Hearthstone," while watching his name climb the leaderboards.
By that time, his own children — he now has four of them — were obsessively playing"Pokémon GO" on their phones. Fabian reached out to a few top-ranked players to see if they'd be willing to coach his kids. One offered his services for just $20 an hour, which Fabian says was less than he paid babysitters."I just found that incredible," he says.
