Harry Campbell started the Rideshareguy.com\\xa0started in 2014, he was a full time aerospace engineer and part-time Uber, Lyft and Sidecar driver. \\xa0He actually discovered rideshare as a passenger back in 2012 but it wasn\\u2019t until he moved from San Diego up to Orange County that he decided to give it a try as a driver.

He started driving for Lyft and Uber in early 2014 because it sounded like a fun, flexible way to earn extra income. \\xa0Some people found it odd that he was driving in his spare time since he had a good career as an engineer but he had always been a huge fan of diversifying your\\xa0income.

It\\u2019s easy to get complacent working the same job day in and day out but when you\\u2019re working for someone else, you\\u2019re never really in control of your own destiny, no matter how safe you might feel. \\xa0And that\\u2019s what he liked so much about being a rideshare driver.

You\\u2019ve probably heard the cliche radio ads that say \\u201cBe Your Own Boss\\u201d and \\u201cSet Your Own Hours\\u201d but the funny thing is that being a rideshare driver really is a lot like running your own mini-business. \\xa0And as any business owner can tell you, running a business is very rewarding but it\\u2019s also a lot of work and there are a ton of challenges that you will face.

He quickly realized that there\\u2019s actually a lot more to driving than\\xa0just getting people safely from Point A to Point B. \\xa0After his first weekend of driving, he sat down at his computer and started looking for blogs, resources or online communities of rideshare drivers. \\xa0He was shocked at the lack of what he found. \\xa0There was nothing other than a few Facebook groups that had a bunch of newbies like myself asking all the same questions!

After a week or so of hopelessly searching for information, he decided to take matters into his own hands and The Rideshare Guy was born. \\xa0He knew that there were lots of drivers with the same questions he had and he figured that if he could provide an authoritative resource with good information, he would be able to help out a few of his fellow drivers. \\xa0But he had no idea just how many people needed help!
