The research firm, Market Data Enterprises of Florida, has ranked Jimmy as one of the top Hispanic Motivational Speakers in the Nation. As a leader, his philosophy is, "Don't count what you have, but what you have given—that total equals your success.”

Jimmy learned some tough lessons early in his life. As a Hispanic he was reared in a predominately-segregated community in north Texas. Except for his parents, he always had the feeling that no one cared. The system certainly didn't challenge Jimmy to be expressive nor think about setting goals. He experienced, instead, bitter rejection and prejudice from a society that labeled him "different." Eventually he realized that though you cannot forget the past and the pain…you can forgive, learn from it, and move on. Overcoming damaged emotions and rejection… he learned how to turn all the negatives into POSITIVE learning experiences. Not allowing challenges to become crutches…but stepping stones to ensure success.
