Surge Media was founded by Frank Scales and Ian McGinnis. Two lifelong friends from South Philadelphia who have shared a commitment to truth, leadership, and patriotism since childhood.

They graduated from Roman Catholic High School together and continued their education at the Community College of Philadelphia. They quickly rose to leadership roles in student government but were kicked out for supporting President Trump. After college, they decided to cover local politics in Philadelphia.

These early experiences showed them that truth always dies in darkness. They recognized the urgent need for independent, transparent journalism across America and got to work.

To meet the growing demand for real journalism, Frank and Ian launched Surge Media. They have since traveled across the country as guerrilla journalists going wherever the story takes them.

Their mission is simple: ask why, challenge legacy media narratives, and spread accurate information rooted in truth, faith, and accountability.
