--- title: The Oldest Blogger Ever --- [Members](https://www.collaborativegrowthnetwork.com/members-0/) | [Contact](https://www.collaborativegrowthnetwork.com/contact-us/) | [Blog](https://www.collaborativegrowthnetwork.com/blog/) [![](https://www.collaborativegrowthnetwork.com/hs-fs/images/logo1.png)](https://www.collaborativegrowthnetwork.com/) ## [The Oldest Blogger Ever](https://www.collaborativegrowthnetwork.com/blog/bid/5572/The-Oldest-Blogger-Ever) Posted by [Pete Caputa](https://www.collaborativegrowthnetwork.com/blog/author/pete-caputa) on Jun 13, 2008 12:56:00 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Russ Swallow recently became a client and has joined the blogosphere. He calls himself the 3700 year old man since he helps about 100 companies/year implement their benefits plans and has been doing it for 37 years. He has "3700" years of experience doing it, compared to the average HR manager that does it once/year. Atleast that's his math. I've explained to him that it doesn't work that way. But, Russ is a lot older than me. So, he must be right. I am also a client of his. Russ knows his stuff. Here's a post he wrote about [disability insurance](http://blog.benefitslab.com/Blog/bid/4368/Two-Quick-Thoughts-on-Disability-Insurance). I'm looking forward to seeing more from him.  ### Follow Co-Grow ### Subscribe to Email Updates ### Recent Posts ### Posts by Topic - [SEO (25)](https://www.collaborativegrowthnetwork.com/blog/topic/seo) -
