Who is that dude?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Austin Texas Homes, LLC 453249

I have received many emails over the past couple of days inquiring about the guy appearing on a couple of my blogs in photos this week:

 

 

 

 

 

"Who is that strange man skulking around at your birthday party with the baby on his shoulders?  He looks like a spy.  Did you invite him to the party, or was he another stalker?"

"Who is that guy sitting with your wife and looking so strangely happy?"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, mystery solved.  The guy outlined in red in the first two photos is actually a fellow member of ActiveRain, although he just wrote his first posts this week.  Stop by and say hello to my good friend, Ben Finklea.  He is president of Volacci, and they handle the SEO (search engine optimization) for our site at www.austintexashomes.com

Ben and I have been friends for several years, and he is the guy who watches all of the Dallas Cowboys games with me.  When we went to training camp last year, he was the photographer for this post of mine:

If you need any help with SEO, I'm sure that Ben would love to hear from you.  If you do decide to contact him, let him know I sent you over, because he hinted that he would pay me for any referred business.  Drop by his blog and say "hi" soon:

Jason, those comments are funny - you must have made them up! :) I actually thought that he was a relative of yours!

That's so funny because I was actually reading your other posts and wondering who that dude was!  Plus I've been thinking about SEO today and realizing how little I know and how much help I need with my various web sites. Perhaps this is divine intervention.

I like Ben's always-ready-handshake-gripper... which also comes with a child restraint/kung fu grip feature.
