Hi There!
I’ve been doing RS quiet a while, and have been aware of this forum for years, so I thought I would participate.
I had a long and wonderful career in the Entertainment Biz, (Motion Picture, Television, Music) and spent most of that time as a Technologies/IT Director at a Major Hollywood Film Studio, as well as Tech Consulting for a wide variety of Corporations and businesses both inside and Outside of the Entertainment industry. After 25 years, it was time for a break, so I decided to semi-retire while I figured out what was going to come next. I get bored easily, so I decided to Rideshare for fun. I found that I really enjoyed elements of it, a LOT more than I had ever thought I would. So, I have continued doing it, and I have amassed around 25,000 rides in the last few years. Being a tech guy, I was thrilled to be on the “receiving” end of the type of Tech I had spent my life working in. I love what rideshare brings to people that could not otherwise afford this kind of transport. I also love the freedom it gives to drivers who are pursuing other avenues, such as musicians, actors, etc. So, it is nice being part of this. I NEVER dreamed I would do it this Long. I am getting itchy to get back into the Creative/Artistic/Tech world that I lived in for so long, but I will probably always drive a bit here and there.
Hopefully, I can lend some of what I have learned to others here.
Uber/Lyft is an incredible thing in many ways…BUT, as I know everyone agrees, they both have their ugly side. I have DEFINITE opinions on both of those platforms, and I look forward to sharing my ideas and thoughts.
Nice to be Here!
