Ah... I knew somebody was gonna ask me
about that.
(Upbeat Music)
Most surprising thing about West
Virginia right now- I didn't know it
could get this hot.
I came from Oklahoma and it gets hot and
I expected that,
but, you know, 97 degrees this week,
I didn't expect that!
Oh wow... um, it will be anybody who plays
dancing music. I grew up on an island
and we enjoy music and how it makes us feel.
So, Pitbull, El Simbolo- I like many
different bands that have great music
that makes me
just feel great. I like the 70s too, so
I have a disco ball in my basement and I
love it!
I like to dance disco. I like to dance
merengue. I like to dance salsa.
So, I think I have a favorite move in
every single one of those.
Rice and beans.
Music.
Empathy.
We binge watch a lot of
different things.
I will say that my all-time favorite
show
has always been Seinfeld. I would like to
get to know one celebrity
because of how he's trying to transform
things and that would be
Pope Francis, who by the way
has the same name as I do.
His real name is Jorge.
Our children and us always celebrate
the times of the Christmas holiday
and we have a phenomenal time on
Christmas Eve
which is when we come together and have
large meals and reflect
and enjoy each other.
One of the things that I want to do
typically relates to travel. I like to
learn about others.
I like to learn about different things.
My background is in architecture so I
love buildings too.
So, we want to do the Camino de Santiago,
de Compostela. Take it from all the
way from France to Portugal.
So, my wife and I have that on our bucket
list that we want to do.
I think Extension has a tremendous role.
I think, as a nation, we are better off
because back in 1914 and even before then,
the Extension Service was created
and we were able to, with the help of
people, understand their needs and find answers
and ways of doing better things for the
population through the land-grant
universities. So, it's a phenomenal system.
I fell in love with it as a student and
then when I began working with Extension
in 1999, I haven't looked back. It's just an
amazing way for people to develop
and an amazing way to find your own
power and knowledge is power and power
is knowledge.
