George Ferko grew up outside of a small town named Palmerton in an even smaller township named Towamensing Township. His parents served as examples of the importance of extraordinary work-ethic and self-education beyond your peers. He remained in his hometown for the most part until he was accepted to Lehigh University where he studied engineering at the recommendation of his childhood instructors. Lehigh helped shaped his vision for the future and made him think bigger about what he could achieve in life.

He is obsessed with his growth and continued learning. He enjoys skiing in the winter and mountain biking in the summer.
