Jimmy Jenkins, before writing stories and books, earned his law degree from the University of Maryland. After graduating law school, Jimmy undertook a commitment to public service by becoming a criminal prosecutor for several years. Jimmy wrote Green Rush Fever because he felt a need to tell the story about how his family's small farming operation entered the nascent Florida hemp industry in 2019. Aside from his analysis about growing hemp, in Green Rush Fever Jimmy also writes about his family's tradition of having a strong conviction in their faith and a tenacious belief in the power of having the robust loving support of one's family members.

"I was working in New York City for over 6 years as a criminal prosecutor when my father got ill. My wife and I decided to move our family to Florida temporarily to take care of him. Having that time with him allowed us to realize that there was a lot of life that I had missed while chasing the brass ring in NYC. I knew I wanted to use my skillset but not chasing that hot-shot trial lawyer lifestyle. I found a really great position as lawyer-editor with a small publishing company in Florida. It was more of a consultant position. And it was like working with friends and assisting them in what they're trying to do."

"That's the stuff that I really enjoy doing for businesses–creating that story-driven scripted content. We still do tons and tons of every other type of video and explainer videos, tutorial videos and training videos. Anything a business needs video related, we do it. But I feel like our real bread and butter, where we excel, is storytelling, where we create content that is engaging and connects deeply with people and ultimately drives them to the businesses that we are trying to market."
