Simitrio Ruiz from "Swamp Loggers" stars in the Discovery Channel reality docu-series.
A native of Mexico, Simitrio was born in 1966 in a village so small that it doesn't even have a name. The closest town, Espíritu Santo (Holy Spirit), is a two-hour walk away. As a teenager, Simitrio worked the local mines in his area. But after his cousin invited him to the United States to work, he quit his job in Mexico and started working the tobacco fields of North Carolina. When the season finished, the other workers went on to Florida for work. Simitrio stayed in North Carolina, and in 1987, he took a job with Bobby's father and started working in the woods alongside Bobby. The two became instant friends, and when Bobby started his own logging company in 1989, Simitrio joined his crew. When Bobby bought his first feller buncher in 1992, Simitrio started operating it and has been stumping ever since.
When he's not running the most important piece of equipment in Bobby's arsenal, Simitrio is a husband and proud father of four. Along with his wife, Dawn, he plays a very active role in his church, from leading the Spanish-language services to helping run the prison ministry program.
