Growing the sport, networking with MMA promotions

Account Director

Executive in the home entertainment industry. I oversee the Disney Studio DVD manufacturing supply chain operations at Technicolor.

My professional profile is on Linked In under the user name James Barbello.

If you are a professional in the business of MMA I strongly recommend LinkedIn.com for contacts.

I am looking to the business side of MMA for my second career. The DVD business won't last forever and I miss the rush of being in a new industry where the rules are still being made and people are focused on getting things done.

Any So Cal MMA promotion looking for volunteer help? Hit me up while I can still work them for free.

I like to volunteer for events in my two favorite sports cycling and MMA.

I am in my 4th year volunteering with AEG for the Tour of California Cycling Race and I volunteered for the Caged Ink MMA/Extreme Sports Expo in August 2009.

Caged Ink was great especially the near riot with a huge drunken "909" crowd at the MMA event due to confusion of who got to sit in the seats and who had to stand at the back. I mentioned that potential two days earlier but the promoter let it became an awesome problem solving exercise i.e. half the Pamona P.D. showed up, problem solved!

Great respect for anyone who gets into a cage and they get cool "walkout" music! Think of how "walk out music" could change your daily life.
