Jorge Barquin is a Marine Corps veteran and graduate from the University of Florida (UF) College of Pharmacy. His family immigrated from Cuba to Miami, FL, where he was born. Jorge grew up in Palm Harbor, FL, where he and Jagger first met as opponents in rival football teams.

At 19 years of age, Jorge decided to put college on hold and enlist into the United States Marine Corps. He served for 5 years, spending most of the time in Camp Pendleton, CA, along with a deployment to Afghanistan in 2010. Three days after his honorable discharge, he returned to school at the University of South Florida (USF), where he discovered a passion for organic and medicinal chemistry, which led him to pursue a career in pharmacy.

It was at UF where Jorge learned clinical pharmacy through a highly touted curriculum built on a foundation of evidence-based care. During his rotations, he noticed the excessive number of patients each clinician was responsible for treating, the impact it had on their ability to apply evidence to their patients, and the frustration it caused to those who took pride in providing high-quality care to their patients. As a result, Jorge graduated and committed to finding a solution. In the Fall of that same year, Jorge founded PharmCorps with his brother, Jose, and his close friend, Jagger.

During his free time, Jorge enjoys golfing, running, playing video games, hanging out with his dog, Gunner, spending time with his nephews, and reading books on quantum mechanics, particle physics, psychology, philosophy, and any other topic that sparks his curiosity.
