“We’ve had a relationship with Player Management since 2001 and Doug has personally helped us build our race program from the ground floor. He is very committed, involved, and energetic and he truly cares about what he does and the people he works with. We never have to worry week-to-week about what’s going on at the race track because he’s always on-site and he maintains constant communication with us in regard to activities with the race team.” - GEICO Marketing

"Sport Clips has been actively involved with NASCAR sponsorships since 2003, and we have worked with several team marketing representatives.  Doug has been handling our program for the past two seasons, going into our third, and we have been very pleased with his dedication to customer service and putting together win-win deals each year.  He has represented both sides well… the team owners and us as sponsors.  From putting “the deal” together to arranging for photo shoots, diecast cars, T-Shirts, and other collateral material to support our NASCAR program and taking care of our franchisees and clients who attend the races, Doug has been everything we could ask for in a marketing rep.  He not only helps us with the myriad of detail that goes along with a successful NASCAR sponsorship, he represents our company very well to our clients and franchisees.  We highly recommend Doug and Player Management International, and will be happy to discuss our experiences with you if you would like to hear it direct from us."   - Gordon Logan, Founder/CEO Sport Clips, Inc.

“In an industry such as NASCAR where the regulation of sponsorship and driver agents is virtually non-existent, Doug defines himself by adhering to a higher ethical standard than most.  He is truly one of the few sports business people that can still be trusted to operate on a “handshake”.  Equally impressive is his ability to cross promote athletes from different disciplines, something even the largest agencies struggle to achieve.  To point, Doug successfully executed a television marketing campaign featuring Carolina Panther Mike Minter and NASCAR driver Joe Nemechek that was extremely well-received in the Charlotte regional market.  Setting his business achievements however, perhaps the most telling characteristic is Doug’s relationship with his clients.  Each client also maintains a personal friendship with Doug, which he clearly values as much if not more than the business relationship.  Over the past seven years, I’ve enjoyed both our business and personal relationship as much as any that I’ve enjoyed in my tenure in NASCAR. - Peter Roe, Business Manager, Joe Nemechek, NEMCO Motorsports

“It has been a pleasant surprise knowing you. You have done a great deal to get my NASCAR racing started.” - Jimmy Vasser

“This would not have happened without your efforts. Thanks for the friendship.” - Mike Wallace after winning the Daytona NASCAR Busch Series Race on July 2, 2004

“Doug Barnette is a man of unquestionable integrity and character. He is a hard working professional who is driven by a burning desire to excel and he will not stop until the job is done to perfection. He is a loyal individual who is completely dedicated to those around him and he is a recognized talent and a proven winner.” - Bill Conley, Former Ohio State University Assistant Football Coach

“Doug is easy going, but quite professional. He seems to be very dedicated to the players and they seem to be dedicated to him. Whatever he says a player is going to do, he makes sure it is going to be done. He knows how to make a deal. Other agents have called, but they don’t know Jacksonville and don’t know how to close a deal.” - Jay Jabour, Owner of Karl’s Clothiers, Jacksonville, Florida

“I have been associated with Doug Barnette and PMI for the last 8 years. We have had several joint business ventures that have been very successful. Doug has been instrumental in all aspects of our business dealings. His hard work and dedication to business, family, and friends is never ending. In addition, I have always found Doug to "always be there" when needed and called upon.” -Frank Bray, Owner, All-Sports Collectibles, Jacksonville, Florida

"When you are talking about passion for your job and dedication, the name Doug Barnette would be the first person that comes to my mind. He truly has a concern for the people he has developed a relationship with over time. There are not too many people who are as giving and caring to the people they have been associated with, be it clients, community members or friends. He was able to give my wife and myself one of the greatest experiences in our lifetime when he helped me get a general manager's and coaching job in England. But most importantly he has become a good friend!" - John Spezia, Athletic Director, Head Mens Basketball Coach, Danville Area Community College
