"the earlier guy"

I got to know him through a Telegram group when I contacted him about some work and he came across as genuine, upbeat and very straightforward. He’s the kind of person you feel comfortable dealing with and that already says a lot. Within the group he’s fun to interact with and plays a big role in keeping the community active and connected. He has a strong sense for spotting promising early projects and usually gets involved before most people do. He also shares helpful tips along the way which makes him a valuable presence in any community.
