That is my Cousin. He is a veteran roof cleaner, I trained him. I allowed him to use my name down in Naples Florida, where he lived when I trained him. He was over 150 miles away! 

Then, he moved up here nearly 8 years ago,  to be near his g/f parents. He would not stop using my name, so what do you do, shoot your Cousin ?

He is clear across Tampa Bay from me, but it does cause plenty of confusion. In fact, he has "intercepted" several jobs I know of, intended for us!

In fact, he even grabbed appleroofcleaning.com 

My URL is saferoofcleaning.com, I never dreamed anyone would grab my URL 

All my customers over in pinellas county have disappeared.

Does  he trade on my name ? Yes he does! 

But, what DO you do ?  He is family, and an absolutely awesome tile roof cleaner, trained fully by me, and he weighs 125 lbs WET !

He is fearless, and could jump up and down on roof tiles w/o cracking them.

I just  say the Serenity Prayer, and "deal with it"

Seeing as how you helped him and even though he's aware of how you feel about him using your name up near you and advertising working in the same places as you-while you can't shoot him, you can let him know AGAIN, how you feel about this, by banning him from advertising your business name, in his own behalf, HERE on RCIA!

You are too nice for your own good! I'd go kick his 125 lb butt and say "This is me treating you, like you are treating me!"

 I must have missed that post!  The Tampa Bay Area is a weird place, people usually stay on their side of the Bay.

He stays over there, far enough away to not really bother me, but if you do a generic Google search for just apple roof cleaning, he comes up directly below me!

Plus, with the URL appleroofcleaning dot com, I am quite sure it confuses people! 

He lives right ON the Intercostal waterway in a 1.5 million dollar home in Reddington Beach, with a mentally ill fat girl he met. She was left well off by her dead husband. So, he has ZERO overhead. He is a commander at the American Legion Post in Reddington Beach, and pretty much "lives at the bar", if you know what I mean ?

He is not out to ever become a Big Company. With Zero Overhead, if he does 3 to 4 roofs a week, he is "good to go". 

The fat girl he lives with pays all the bills, everything he makes is all Gravy Money.

Even though he is my Cousin, he is more like my brother. We were practically raised together. I love him, he is my Cuz 

You  are right Chuck, I probably am "too nice for my own good"

Sounds to me like you still need to kick his azz, and then steal his rich fat g/f and then you woulden't have to put up with BS anymore

She is a nice person, but as crazy as a bedbug!
