Until today, I thought Richard Riccelli had the best job description among our contributors: “Marketing Provocateur.”
Loan Officer Chris Johnson offers plausible competition with “New Market Survival Enthusiast.”
Chris Johnson calls the tiny town of Westerville, Ohio, home — a challenge for a loan officer. A prolific weblogger and an incipient father, Chris is a tireless advocate of continuous self-improvement.
Chris and I have been dancing with each other for months. Time will tell, but I think he’s joining us now because he wants to deliver unto us a deep and difficult-to-master marketing philosophy: Get behind the mule and plow! Sounds like a BloodhoundBlog message to me.
At the same time, I am pruning our Frequent Contributors roster by a few names, folks who haven’t had as much time for us lately: Lani Anglin, Bill Leider and Galen Ward. We’ve never retired a contributor account, so it could be they’ll rejoin us in future.
Our recent additions have all been very big dogs, so it will be interesting to see if Chris can out-howl them. Nothing like a big challenge to bring forth big results.

Our town is so tiny that we don’t even have color photography.

Snot. The original photo wasn’t even all that rich in blacks and whites. State of the art lithography for 1955. Chris will replace that photo, but he wants to make sure he can live up completely to that exacting Dave Barnes standard for fingernail-sized images. 😉

Chris is a fabulous addition. I just read his book. It is genuine gold for originators.

so does that mean I can say, “I knew Chris back when…..?”

Damn!
Black and white is a brilliant idea Chris. Wish I had thought of that before I irreparably lowered the beauty quotient over on the right.
Oh well. “Larger than life and twice as ugly” I always say. Great to have a new howler.

@sean- Yeah, I wanted to stand out…I really, really thought of dressing in fatigues, and going all ‘army,’ but then that’s funnier in ‘peacetime.’
Also, Westerville Not SO tiny.
@Brian Brady: what great praise from on high. That made my day.
