Helpdesk Technician

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.

Nick Wagner

It could make life so much better.

It'll never work.

Maybe it will work.

It's going to disrupt everything.

That will be bad.

I don't understand it.

Don't use it.

It's changing things too quickly.

The old way is harder, but worth the cost.

I still don't understand it.

Back in my day, we did it the hard way.

I can't understand why kids these days don't do it the way I did.

I need to learn how to use it.

It's hard learning new things.

Why do I have to change?

Maybe I can find a kid to help me.

Leader | Catholic Speaker | Software Engineer | Problem Solver

"How can I improve?" is the most important question a leader can ask.

1. Hire good people.

2. Let them work how and where they perform their best.

3. Support them and get out of their way.
