On je rođen je u Kvinsiju i pronađen napušten, u smeću. Kad je imao samo dva meseca, usvojili su ga Nathan i Beti Figers, stariji bračni par. 

- Uvek sam želeo računar, ali nismo mogli da priuštimo. Zato smo otac i ja otišli u malu prodavnicu koja se zvala Gudvil i kupili korišćeni Mekintoš iz 1989. godine - kaže Figers. Tada je imao samo devet godina, ali nije imao mira u želji da ga popravi i pojača.

Nekoliko sedmica je razmišljao o tome šta će učiniti, dok na kraju nije skinuo delove sa radija i umetnuo ih u ploču računara. 

Vremenom je postao toliko dobar u popravljanju računara da je kao tinejdžer, nakon što bi mu se završila nastava, počeo raditi za Grad Kvinsi na popravljanju državnih računara.

Upravo je u svom gradu prvi put pristupio internetu koji je bio još u povoju, preko telekomunikacijske firme s kojom je grad sarađivao.

- Želio sam izgraditi vlastitu komunikacijsku mrežu. Ali kad sam vidio koliko infrastruktura košta, mislio sam da to nikad neću moći - kaže. 

Prilika se pojavila kad je vidio priču o oluji u Alabami koja je uništila lekarsku ordinaciju, ostavljajući doktore bez ikakvih zapisa o pacijentima. 

Sa samo 16 godina, Figers je pokrenuo firmu za rad 'u oblaku' s kompanijom koja je radila sa 70 klijenata i omogućila im da čuvaju svoje podatke na mreži. 

Nakon srednje škole, Figers je počeo stvarati softver za kompanije. 

Jedan od njegovih izuma nadahnuo je njegov otac koji je bolovao od  Alchajmera.

Osmislio je uređaj koji bi se mogao umetnuti u cipelu pacijenta i slati signale, tako da ga članovi obitelji, u slučaju da on nestane, mogu pronaći na Gugl mapi.  

- Mogao sam uzeti telefon u ruke i reći 'Hej tata, gde si?', a da on ne mora učiniti ništa i mogao sam pratiti njegovu lokaciju. Taj je program bio vrlo uspešan. Jedna kompanija iz Kansasa ga je otkupila od mene za 2,2 milijona dolara - kaže.

Sa tim novcem je mogao osnovati komunikacijsku kompanju, što mu je bila želja od malih nogu.Od 2011. godine, Figers Comjunikejšn priža usluge mobilne širokopojasne mreže, kućnih telefona i međunarodnih poziva. 

Bave se i hardverom te su stvorili mobilni telefon koji korisnicima ne dopušta slanje sms poruka dok voze, kao i mobitel koji ima ugrađen bežični merač glukoze u krvi za osobe s dijabetesom. 

Dakle, ta jednom napuštena beba danas je izvršnidirektor i osnivač firme za koju se procenjuje da vredi oko 62 miliona dolara iželi pomoći u izgradnji boljeg sveta.

 - Verujem da ljudi, koji žele bitiodgovorni kada vide problem, mogu naći rešenje te tako uticati na to dapromene nečiji život. Uticaću na ovaj svet s ciljem da danas postavimo temeljeza bolje sutra, jer novac nije ništa drugo nego alat. S tim alatommožemo da utičemo i promenimo svakodnevne živote ljudi - kaže Figers.
