Wagner began his career in law enforcement with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) in 2002 and has served in many capacities throughout this time, including field training officer, instructor for airboat and vessel operations, and as a member of the FWC Honor Guard. In 2012, Wagner was promoted to lieutenant in the Boating and Waterways Section of the FWC. Wagner reviews all boating incident reports that occur in Florida and provides instruction to all new recruits at the FWC academy on navigational rules, vessel law and boating incident investigation
