Hi, my name is Chuck Ainsworth and am now retired from corporate America. During my working lifetime I was a Medical Technician, Process Control Engineer working for Motorola, Hospital Information Systems Manager at Washoe County Hospital in Reno, Medical Software Engineer again working for Motorola and Eclipsys Corporation, and finished my career at Pearson Education as a Software Quality and Configuration Engineer. I was fortunate enough while working at Motorola, Eclipsys, and Pearson to become an international traveler and have been to Canada, Japan, Germany, France, England, and India.
I am an avid motorcycle rider and have been riding since 1961, have owned 14 motorcycles, and now am riding a 1996 Honda Gold Wing. I have probably ridden over 500,000 miles on a motorcycle with only one minor accident with no injuries. For six years I was in open wheel racing on dirt tracks in AZ and now know what it feels like to go into a turn twice as fast as your mind tells you that it is safe to go and still easily navigate it. Lots of fun and excitement but took a lot of time and money.
During my life, I have always believed that one’s well being is related to their health and have played racquetball for over 30 years in order to keep physically fit. I still play 4 times a week.
For a while I was an active trader on the stock and currency markets. When I decided it was time to retire from Corporate America I spent a year in taking classes on how to trade which turned out to be a great education and opened up a whole new area to explore. Over the years I decided that active trading was not for me.
With the downturn in the market in 2008 I decided it was time to once again branch out and now I am in the learning phase on how to make money through the use of the internet. Even though I started out in early 2009 on internet marketing and sales and have studied lots of materials and spent a ton of money, I feel that I am still in the learning phase.
Over the years I have dabbled in web design and now have been the webmaster for over 30 web sites, all running under WordPress using different themes. I am now starting to cut back on the website activities and mostly concentrate on those sites that belong to friends and for charities.
One of my desires was always to drive a school bust. Don’t ask me why, just thought it would be something that I would like doing. I am now in the second year and do enjoy it. It is one way to keep somewhat attuned to the younger generation.
