Rich Jacobson employee #10 for ActiveRain

By
Real Estate Agent

Rich Jacobson
I am extremely pleased to welcome Rich as a new member of the ActiveRain team on a full time basis! He will be taking on the role of a Community Builder.

Rich's addition to our team is very positive news for the AR community. Rich has been a member of ActiveRain since August of 2006, when the network was still only just a few months old! He has delivered very valuable and relevant blog posts, and has earned over 200k points, making him the top member in Washington state!

As a Community Builder, Rich will work very closely with Bob Stewart and Nicole Rae to support our members both on an individual basis and the community on the whole. We also look forward to him showing off some of his public speaking skills at various industry conferences and training events over the next year.

As I type this Rich is working with Bob learning how to use the "God Console" and how "not to break things"; It would be quite a PR disaster if Rich accidentally smited Lenn Harley... However, I would expect a post from him sometime today about the big news as soon as he finishes with his training.  

Please check out some of Rich's earlier posts:

"Slow Down and Smell the Crabs!"

"On Being a Groupie!"

Ines, Don't blame me... I got the pic from his profile. Plus I am NOT a tie guy.  I bet the last time I wore a tie was to take my profile pic, and if you remember I was wearing basketball shorts while I took the picture. :)

Rich is or was using that photo on Twitter... It is a nice photo but the tie!  I think of Rich in a Santa hat or on a boat or with a crab leg... not with a tie.

Great to hear that Rich is joining the Rain team and put his considerable experience in blogging and real estate to good use for the network. We here in the field are confident he won't be "breaking things". Congrats.
