About

A founder-operated managed IT practice for small businesses.

Near Earth Orbit exists for Omaha-metro small businesses that want direct technical ownership of their IT without enterprise-sized overhead. The regulated work we do for defense contractors sets the standard every client gets.

Direct access to the engineer doing the work

Security and compliance tied to day-to-day operations

Smaller engagement model with clearer accountability

Discipline carried from regulated environments into every engagement

Why This Practice Exists

IT breaks down when nobody owns the operational side.

Near Earth Orbit was built around a simple premise: small businesses need someone who can administer the environment, understand what the business depends on, and connect the two without handing the hard parts back to the client.

That is why the model stays founder-led. The value is direct technical ownership, clearer scoping, and faster decisions in environments where uptime and accountability matter.

Founder · Cloud, Infrastructure, and Regulated Operations

Daniel built Near Earth Orbit on hands-on cloud, infrastructure, and cybersecurity work, including regulated operations for defense contractors. The focus is practical: keep systems running, keep security tied to daily operations, and document the environment well enough that an audit holds no surprises.

Why Buyers Reach Out

Direct ownership is the whole pitch.

You want to know who is responsible for the environment at any given moment.

You want plain answers about your systems from the person who runs them.

You are done re-explaining your setup to a rotating cast of technicians.
