In October of 2025, I turned in my badge and placed a bet on myself.
Ten years in law enforcement, a six figure salary, a pension waiting at the end of the tunnel. But I knew there was something else out there for me. So I walked away. No safety net, 3 kids at home, and the most peace I'd felt in years.
Now I run The Koerner Office, produce a podcast, consult on AI for companies that know they're behind, own some self-storage, and write two newsletters. This site is where all of it lives.
If you're building something too, you're in the right place. Pull up a chair.
Aaron is a rare breed.
