He gained national exposure as an English language anchor at ESPN on SportsCenter, CBS Sports and NBC Universal / Telemundo where he also was a Sunday Night Football in-studio analyst.

“I’m a firm believer that representation matters, and I love teaching my daughters about my Peruvian roots while also showing them daily how blessed we are to be Americans. The Hispanic community in the Carolinas continues to grow daily and I love being able to tell their stories in either language and connecting with them as a proud representative of the Hispanic community while also shedding light on the bilingual demographic that I believe is the future of our country,” Jorge said.

An avid sports fan, self-proclaimed ‘foodie’ and drummer in his spare time, Jorge is exploring Charlotte with his wife Wendy, two daughters and two dogs.
