So by the time I was a 16-year-old, I was already making six figures in my parents' basement writing software.

Just read books.

I found a book on C Sharp on my dad's shelf.

My dad's not a software engineer, but he's just a curious guy.

So he had a book on C Sharp.

I picked it up.

I read it, wrote some programs.

And yeah, by the time I was 16, I was making really good money doing that for various people just on a contract basis.

So I thought, well, I've got a little bit of money here.

I can go start a business.

I can sell that one.

I could start another one.

I could sell that one.

And then I'll get to starting Valor.

So that was my plan.

What did your parents think about you dropping out of school at age 16?

They were surprised.

I don't know.

Maybe they weren't that surprised.

They were like a little bit hesitant, but I don't know.
