Something's been building.

For 28 years I've been on the shop floor — turning wrenches, programming PLCs, troubleshooting robots, and fixing things that aren't supposed to break at 2 AM on a Saturday.

I've watched machines evolve. I've watched the trade evolve. And I've watched a whole lot of good people — the kind of people who actually built this country — get left behind because nobody showed them what was coming or how to use it.

That changes now.

This is The Wired Watchman.

A newsletter for hard-working Americans and our allies around the world. For the men and women who show up every day, get their hands dirty, and keep the lights on for everyone else. For the ones who build things, fix things, and refuse to quit.

You are the backbone of this nation. And you deserve someone on the wall watching out for you.

Here's what you'll get every week:

A story from the floor — war stories, crew chaos, and the kind of lessons that only come from decades of showing up. The kind you tell over coffee, except this one teaches you something.

A tool worth knowing about — honest reviews from someone who uses tools for a living. No hype. No sponsors telling me what to say. Just the truth about what works and what doesn't.

The AI advantage — I'm living proof that artificial intelligence isn't here to replace you. It's here to make you dangerous. I'll show you how — whether you're a technician, a small business owner, or just someone who wants to work smarter.

And the signal through the noise — what's actually happening in American industry, manufacturing, and the economy. Not from a talking head in a studio. From a guy who clocks in every day at a real facility and sees it with his own eyes.

I believe in the dignity of work. I believe in foundational values — the ones this republic was built on. I believe in the men and women who keep this nation running, and I believe in standing with our allies who share those values — democracy, grit, innovation, and the courage to build something that lasts.

We're not done building. Not even close.

Welcome to the wall. The watchman is here.

Work smarter every day — not harder.
