Jorge was born in Glendale, CA and moved to Florida as a child where he discovered his passion for martial arts. He began teaching at the age of 16 and later opened Champions for Life with his wife, Kim. Jorge taught and mentored hundreds of children throughout the course of his life - most of whom consider him to be a real-life superhero and continue to aspire to be “just like Mr. Jorge.”

In Florida, he spent ten years in the fire service as a firefighter, paramedic and lieutenant. His passion for helping others and his desire to challenge himself led him to the Austin Police Department where he became a police officer and ultimately fulfilled his dream of earning a position on the SWAT team. Of everything he did in his career, Jorge was most proud of his service in the Honor Guard for both the Seminole Tribe of Florida and APD. He was fiercely loyal and protective of the people who were lucky enough to be loved by him.

He had a passion for training, fitness and helping others which is the driving force behind his foundation. His work ethic, drive and ambition was second to none and continues to motivate officers to be the best version of themselves to this day. His energy, magnetism and smile made him someone everyone wanted to be around and he truly went to work every day to make the city of Austin and the department better. Help us honor his legacy by building on the FOUNDATION he has laid out through his service and dedication.
