Nineteen

Head Referee

Coming from the Bronx, N.Y. is one of the defining factors that make Jimbo19 an extreme force in everything he does. This coupled with the 2yrs.experience of Roller Hockey and 2 yrs of Pro Wrestling make him one of the ultimate rookie referees in the Bleeding Heartland Roller Girls leauge. From Hardcore drumming to extreme wrestling he is an unbreakable spirit that stops at nothing to get the job done. Roller Derby Refereeing is the latest in a long line of positions held by this long-haired,tattooed,madman. Although skating around without all the hitting is a long way from getting thrown off 30ft. balconies or the fun of hitting Roller Hockey provides, the importance of doing this for the community and the sensation of having anything to do with organized sports make this a more than worthwhile challenge that satisfies Jimbo19 and keeps him more and more intrigued with the intricacies of refereeing.

The name Jimbo19 or simply “19″ as he prefers is yet another trademark of the selflessness that envails him. This is a mixture of his cab driver number 19 and a tribute to one of his favorite bands “Slipknot”, the idea is that it doesn’t matter who he is his noteriety & outgoig persona gain him more than enough attention, the focus is mainly on the job he does. Some of his other music of choices are Stone Sour, Flaw, Lacuna Coil, anything 80’s, Evanescense, and old punk. Music has always been an important factor in Jimbo19’s life because life is indeed a stage and this perfomer is always ready to put on one hell of a show.
