Founder | Leader | Software Engineer | Problem Solver

I have spent my career doing more with less while building and leading high-performance, winning teams. I discovered that operating tactically is necessary, strategically is superior, and philosophically is life-changing. I turn learning into action and I am always learning. I believe in extreme respect and gratitude. I am passionate about family, friends, sharing knowledge, and getting things done.

Tribute to Joanne Wagner by Mary Drumm

An excellent piece by Dr. Lewarne.

Honestly, I'm not worried about the challenges of AI. Every disruptive technology brings new challenges.

I'm much more worried about the ignorance and irrational fear surrounding AI. That's the kind of stuff that quickly turns good intentions into bad policies.

Much of the current AI job panic rests on a category mistake. Policymakers are treating task-based exposure estimates as forecasts of unemployment—when history and economics suggest something very different. My piece in today’s Wall Street Journal (Jan. 28, 2026) explains why AI is more likely to reorganize work and raise productivity than eliminate occupations, and why Washington’s response risks missing the real adjustment challenge.

"The people most likely to leave are often the people you most want to keep … because they have the best outside options."

Let that sink in, people!

Short-run vs. long-run trade-off: a 5-day return-to-office (RTO) mandate can be a “free” way to reduce headcount in the short term—quits don’t require severance. But the long-run costs can be substantial. The people most likely to leave are often the people you most want to keep: top sales reps, AI talent, and strong product managers—because they have the best outside options. That talent drain can show up later as slower growth.

Markets typically reward credible long-run growth more than short-run cost cutting. So it’s not surprising that aggressive 5-day RTO pushes are often followed by weaker stock performance (as the Pittsburgh study finds). That said, for firms deep in the red, it can be an emergency measure.

My guess: we’ll see more of this as the economy slows and AI increases pressure on corporate headcount. The key is being clear-eyed about the trade-off—cheap headcount reduction today, potential growth hit tomorrow.

I never knew my grandmother, but I'll never forget her legacy, her impact, and her witness to the truth. And I'll never forget the love, strength, and impact of my grandfather. 

For me, they will always be the standard for what pro life means. They didn't just say it. They lived it.

It was 50 years ago yesterday evening, in 1976. Michael and Joanne Wagner boarded a bus heading for the March for Life in D.C. Everything about them proclaimed God's gift of life. Joanne was carrying baby number 13. Somewhere around midnight, while on the bus... head resting on her husband's shoulder, at the very young age of 39, God called her home. She died silently in her sleep. Many years later, some who were on the bus that night reported the little boy kicking in her womb.
