Marc Roth
Overview
Marc Roth, a 16-year tech industry veteran, had hit rock bottom. After sinking his savings into a failed small business and moving from Las Vegas to San Francisco for a $125,000 job that fell through, he was out of options. "It was a string of events that changed my life forever," he told The Huffington Post. With no money and nowhere to go, Roth went to a local shelter and started his six-month stint of homelessness. But now, two years later, Roth lives in an apartment with his family, owns his own successful business and helps his city's mayor tackle San Francisco's monstrous homelessness epidemic. And with a new project, he wants to help other homeless individuals do the same.
