Ferguson says he was born with a condition called Optic Nerve Hyperplasia. His family realized he was completely blind when he was just three months old.
“To be honest, I would not have it any other way. I’m going to go out there and serve my purpose and do what I have to do to be successful in life,” Ferguson said.
Ferguson is also a drummer. He started learning when he was six years old and is now in a band with his grandfather.
