Background

Hamman, who was expelled from a private school, later attended Atascadero High School where he was a standout athlete in football, swimming, track and field, and also competed in wrestling for one year. Hamman continued with football as a defensive end for the University of Redlands, winning All-Conference honors.

gollark: I read https://www.alicemaz.com/writing/minecraft.html recently (a bit of writing on economic shenanigans) and thought "hmm, it's a shame no modded servers could work like this".
gollark: Not what I meant.
gollark: How does that need a pregenerated world?!
gollark: Functioning *player-driven* economy then.
gollark: Why'd a pregenerated world affect anything?
