Jay is the son of Ronald Molinere Jr., better known as RJ Molinere, a Native American, and his wife, Stacey. Growing up, Jay loved boxing and wrestling, and as soon as he was old enough – reports suggest six years of age – his father started giving him boxing and wrestling lessons with the help of Elsie, Jay’s uncle. He went on to become a Golden Gloves Boxing Champion twice, regional boxing champion and also tried himself in mixed martial arts (MMA), all of which toughened him to pursue what became his job.
Jay’s true call is hunting, and not just regular hunting, but alligator hunting in the swamps of Southern Louisiana at the Atchafalaya Basin – hence the toughness needed. Jay joined the cast of the “Swamp People” – which began airing on the History channel in 2010 – in the second season of the series the following year, along with his father R.J., and has remained in the show ever since. So far, he has appeared in 70 episodes, which has certainly helped increase his net worth to a large degree.
Speaking of his primary work, Jay’s role in the business became more important with experience, and most recently he took over as the captain of the airboat, since his father decided to reduce his involvement somewhat.
The alligator season is restricted, and so is the number of alligators allowed to be caught, so efficiency in the work is essential, and so experience is invaluable. Even his mother Stacey has become involved in the TV series in recent seasons, as she also has the experience of hunting ‘gators.
Regarding his personal life, Jay is married to Ashleigh Molinere; the couple has two children together, Jaydin, and A’niyah.
