At J.O. Agency, Miguel Ruiz leads marketing strategy for clients and conducts business development for the agency, developing and nurturing relationships with businesses and organizations around North Texas.
“He has a no-fail attitude, a can-do spirit unlike anyone I've ever met,” says Jennifer Henderson, president and founder of the J.O. Agency.
Henderson adds that in the past year he's successfully led projects for, among others, Worthington Bank, Tarrant Area Food Bank, Shoot Smart, and Range Construction.
Ruiz is also currently working on registering a nonprofit organization that will benefit at-risk youth in Fort Worth by providing services that prepare GED recipients for entering the workplace.
Ruiz also was recently named one of 2024’s Hometown Heroes by the Camp Bowie District for his dedication and service to the country and Fort Worth.
For six years, Ruiz, a Fort Worth native who went to school at UT Arlington, was a member of the Texas Army National Guard. He worked in communications. His most impactful work might have been at the Texas-Mexico border.
“Chaos,” he says of the situation down there.
