Chief Executive Officer

RIE's CEO and co-owner Jonathan Price's love for martial arts started at a very young age, but he didn't get "serious" about his training until the mid-1990s. He became an assistant instructor at his school in 1997, and began running the academy as its Sa-bu-nim or head instructor in 1999. Since that time, the academy has grown to an average size of 50-100 active students each year, and he has had the opportunity to promote several of his most dedicated students to the black belt level.

In regards to business, Mr. Price has multiple degrees in areas including Accounting and Computer Information Systems from James Madison University. He has held a variety of positions from COO, to Director of Business Development, in companies as large as Verizon Wireless and as small as a local media company. His breadth of business experience, coupled with his legal background and martial arts expertise, makes Mr. Price a very versatile asset to the organization.

RIE's Story Continued

With connections already in place with some of the top training camps along the East Coast, as well as some of the biggest MMA schools throughout the Americas, R.I.E., LLC will be pulling fighters to compete in its scheduled events to catch the eyes and earn the respect of both established MMA leagues such as UFC® and its dedicated fans.

R.I.E., LLC will be holding another 3-4 events in 2009, and 14-16 events in 2010. Each location/event will be promoted by 25-30 of the country's top, privately contracted marketers, who are highly compensated based on their performance. The sole objective of these marketers is to direct individuals to both the website and events, creating audiences in the thousands.

R.I.E. will have approximately 16 events scheduled by the end of 2009 for the following year. Currently we are licensed and bonded in three states, VA, PA, and TX. R.I.E. will also stay on the cutting edge of all new area opportunities including cities in NJ, TN, FL, MO, NY, and any other state that has opportunities for growth. Our dedication is to our fans and fighters nationwide, bringing shows to local areas that don't currently have the opportunity to experience the excitement of a quality live event, and helping our athletes reach their goals of being the best in their industry.
