Episode 8 - Interview with Rooster Rossiter - Founder of Ainsley's Angels of America

Chitchat With Chuck

This is the first in our "Giving Back" series, which we will feature periodically.  Chuck and Danny interview Kim "Rooster" Rossiter - the founder and President of Ainsley's Angels of America.  He is a retired US Marine with over two decades of enlisted and officer service, and is a combat veteran of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM.  Ainsley's Angels of America aims to ensure everyone can experience endurance events and to build awareness about America's special needs community through inclusion in all aspects of life.  There are currently over 70 chapters of the organization in 33 states.  Rooster and Ainsley's Angels have been featured in USA Today, Runner's World Magazine and various news outlets and podcasts.  He was kind enough to spend some time inspiring Chuck and Danny, and we hope his heartwarming story inspires you as well.

Side note - you definitely will not want to miss this episode's "Rant of the Day"!
