In 2010, Jimmy and his team won the Big Buck Outdoor Games, competing against the top 20 outdoor television producers from across the United States. In 2012, Jimmy became a cartoon character in “Kids Korner Outdoors with Jimmy Sites,” and 27 cartoons have been produced teaching children ages 4-12 the various safety measures and ethics related to outdoor sports. In 2014, Jimmy was named American Outdoor Sportsman of the Year by the Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame, and in August 2018, he was inducted into this Hall of Fame.

Jimmy’s speaking engagements and adventures take him all over the world, including filming a documentary with a Stone Age Indian tribe in the Amazon Jungle with missionary Steve Saint. Jimmy is a strong advocate of conservation, and he has been interviewed on many radio and television talk shows including The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson on Fox Network, and on multiple occasions by MSNBC. Jimmy also serves as a spokesperson for several non-profit organizations, including 37 years for Compassion International – a child development organization that cares for over 1.5 million children in 26 Third world countries.

In 2015, Jimmy began writing country music songs and has had 9 songs recorded by artists, including “Enough Left for Tonight” co-written with songwriter-of-the-year Jimmy Yeary (“I Drive Your Truck”) and recorded by the Henningsens. His song “My Wedding Day” recorded by Bobby and Teddie Cyrus, was written about his father Carroll Sites in reference to his father’s passing from earth to heaven. This song is made it to #3 on the Bluegrass and Gospel charts and stayed in the Top 10 for several weeks. Jimmy’s latest two songs were produced by Grammy award winning producer John Carter Cash.

Jimmy is married to Amanda Mullens (married May 1984), and they have two biological children, Christin (born August 1989) and Jonathan (born January 1992), and an adopted daughter named Mary (born August 1990). All their children are married. Jimmy and Amanda now have four grandchildren ages 1 to 4.

The couple live in a log lodge on the edge of a wooded hollow just north of Nashville, Tennessee. Their home church is the Northfield Church in Gallatin, Tennessee, where Jimmy teaches a weekly Bible class, helps with the men’s ministry, and leads an in-home LIFE group.

When you book Jimmy to speak, you will be treated very professionally, and he will arrive early and stay late so that he can get to know you and the attendees at your event. His goal is to make friends for life and continue to develop the relationship for years to come.
