Born in Malmo, Jimmy was an Olympic diver for Sweden in 1996. Jimmy found himself in Southern California in the summer of 1998 training for the 2000 Olympics at UCLA. Fluent in English, and bubbling with self-confidence, talent, and personality, he quickly nabbed the number three spot on the show after a short interview with the DEN executives.

Early in the process he claimed not to be into drugs or casual sex, but a week of Burning man soon revealed a far more adventuresome side to this young diver. Today, Jimmy lives in New York, were he is pursuing a career in fashion merchandising.
