Question "poderte presentar"

A friend of mine "introduced" me via Facebook to a friend of hers in Peru. He wrote to me the following:

Quote:
Espero que poco a poco podamos ser amigos y también poderte presentar a otros hermanos y hermanas peruanos.
I know the sentence basically means "I hope that little by little we can become friends and that I can also introduce you to other Peruvian brothers and sisters. (Right?)

My question is about the placement of the pronoun "-te" (enclítico) on "poder" instead of "presentar". He has advanced education, so I don't question his ability to write correctly in Spanish. I just don't understand why it wouldn't better be: "...también poder presentarte a otros..."

Thanks!
