MY HISTORY
CHILDHOOD/EDUCATION
Jorge grew up in Tenafly, New Jersey graduating high school in 1987. The son of a Cuban immigrant father who came to the United States in 1959, he remembers and appreciates his latino childhood: "My father told me he came here with a few hundred dollars in his pocket. He worked his way up in the textile industry, and by 1977 he owned buildings in West New York, New Jersey. It's a story of immigrant success that I will always remember. It's a part of who I am. It's because of him that I am committed to serving the people in our community who want a better life for themselves. I will never turn my back on them. My programs are designed as 'hand-ups' for hard working people of limited means."
Jorge proceeded to Rutgers University where he completed a Bachelor of Arts in 1991. He subsequently attended Rutgers School of Law where he was a member of the law review, graduating with a Juris Doctor in 1995. Jorge moved to California in 1997 and has never looked back.
