This weeks member spotlight is logistics entrepreneur George Fuller!

George was born and raised in Central New York, where logistics wasn’t just an industry — it was the family trade. He grew up around truck drivers, including an uncle who still works in the field today and remains a steady example of commitment and grit. Despite swearing he’d never follow the same path, George earned his Class A license with a hazmat endorsement and built a career spanning warehousing, transportation, and customer‑focused delivery operations. That hands‑on experience gave him a ground‑level understanding of how freight really moves and how much the region depends on reliable logistics.

Over the years, the loss of his late uncle Johnny and his nephew Ryvor — combined with watching his grandmother Julia age — reshaped his perspective. These moments didn’t pull him away from his goals; they sharpened them. Johnny and Julia were, and Julia still is, among the hardest‑working people he has ever known. Their values — reliability, grit, humility, and showing up for others — feel less like memories and more like a baton passed forward. Ryvor’s passing, far too soon, added a deeper sense of responsibility: to build something meaningful, rooted in family, purpose, and legacy.

That clarity is at the core of the 3PL George is building. As advanced manufacturing accelerates across Upstate New York, he is developing logistics infrastructure engineered specifically for the complexity of modern industrial supply chains. The more he learns about advanced manufacturing — especially the semiconductor sector — the more he’s driven to solve the logistics challenges that come with it. He believes logistics is far more than “put box on truck and move it,” and he’s committed to creating responsiveness, training, and infrastructure designed around the needs of advanced manufacturing rather than forcing manufacturers to adapt to outdated logistics models.

His company Full Logistics operates under a simple promise: flexible solutions for dynamic demands. Purpose‑built from the ground up, it’s designed to support organizations across Upstate New York — large or small — with transportation and warehousing solutions that scale with the region’s industrial boom. George is actively connecting with companies looking to strengthen their current and future logistics capabilities as advanced manufacturing continues to expand.

Outside of work, he competes nationally in NXL paintball, plays League of Legends and Civilization, spends time with family, and helps people however he can. He’s known for being grounded, reliable, and driven by a mission bigger than himself — striving to build something his late uncle Johnny, his late nephew Ryvor, and his aging grandmother Julia will be proud of.

Join us in congratulating George on this weeks we'll deserved member spotlight!

Today's member spotlight is our upcoming event nonprofit speaker Mary Kate Intaglietta, Director of Development of Make-A-Wish Central New York!

Make-A-Wish Central New York is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to granting life-changing wishes for local, critically ill children. Founded in 1985, Make-A-Wish Central New York has granted over 2,500 life-changing wishes since inception. In fiscal 2026, the organization is on track to grant 90 wishes. Make-A-Wish is committed to reaching every eligible child within its 15-county footprint.

A wish is more than a moment. It can be a turning point in a child's medical journey. Research shows that wishes help children build the emotional and physical strength needed to fight their illnesses, while creating lasting memories for families during some of their most challenging times
We invite you to join us in creating the transformative joy a wish can bring. Today, children in our community are waiting for their wishes to come true, and we rely on passionate volunteers, donors, corporate partners, and advocates to help make that happen. Whether you're looking to grow your professional network, give back to your community, or make a meaningful impact, there are countless ways to get involved.

As members of Central New York Professionals Under 40, you have the talent, energy, and influence to help create hope where it’s needed most. Together, we can ensure every eligible child experiences the life-changing power of a wish.

Today’s member spotlight features Austin Polinsky, owner of Pearce Bespoke Greater Syracuse.

Although not originally from Central New York, Austin grew up in the Syracuse area and proudly calls it home. He later served in the United States Marine Corps as a Combat Engineer and Squad Leader, where he was responsible for leading Marines, developing teams, and operating in demanding environments where discipline, accountability, and attention to detail were essential. The leadership principles and standards he learned in the Marine Corps continue to influence both his personal and professional life today.

One of the experiences that had the greatest impact on Austin was putting on his Marine Corps Dress Blues for the first time. He often describes it as a moment that changed how he carried himself, giving him a level of confidence, pride, and professionalism he had never experienced before. That experience would later become one of the inspirations behind his business and his belief that confidence starts with the perfect fit.

Following his military service, Austin built a career in sales before pursuing entrepreneurship and becoming the owner of Pearce Bespoke Syracuse. As a veteran-owned business, Pearce Bespoke provides a luxury mobile custom clothing experience, bringing professionally curated fabrics, expert measurements, and personalized styling directly to clients in their homes and offices throughout Central New York.

Austin believes that custom clothing is about much more than appearance. When people wear garments that truly fit, they stand taller, carry themselves with greater confidence, and make stronger first impressions. Through Pearce Bespoke, his mission is to help professionals look their best, feel their best, and project confidence in every aspect of their lives.

Pearce Bespoke is built on four core principles: Custom Craftsmanship, Convenience, Cost-Effective Luxury, and a Perfect Fit Guarantee. Austin takes pride in creating a personalized experience for every client while helping busy professionals upgrade their wardrobes without sacrificing valuable time.

As a new business owner, Austin is focused on building relationships throughout the Syracuse community and growing a company that reflects the values of service, professionalism, integrity, and excellence that were instilled in him during his time in the Marine Corps.

In his free time, Austin enjoys fitness, networking, personal development, and spending time with family and friends. He is passionate about supporting fellow veterans, local businesses, and professionals throughout Central New York.

Join us in congratulating Austin on today’s member spotlight, and we encourage you to connect with him.
