About
Near Earth Orbit
Founder-operated managed IT for defense contractors, manufacturers, and organizations pursuing CMMC, FedRAMP, and NIST 800-171 compliance.
Mission
Why we exist
I started Near Earth Orbit because too many MSPs treat compliance as a checkbox exercise. It gets added after the fact instead of built into the foundation. Defense contractors and manufacturers deserve an IT partner who understands their regulatory environment, not one who learns on the job at their expense.
This practice is founder-operated. When you work with us, you work directly with the engineer. No helpdesk layer, no escalation runaround. You always know who has eyes on your systems.
Why “Near Earth Orbit”?
Like satellites in near Earth orbit, we provide essential services while staying close enough to respond quickly. Stable, reliable, always watching. That's the standard.
Values
Core values
Security-First
Every decision starts with security. Compliance is built into the foundation, not added as an afterthought.
Mission-Focused
We exist to keep regulated organizations compliant so they can focus on their core mission.
Direct Access
No ticket queues. No layers. You work directly with the person doing the work.
Honest Communication
Clear scoping, clear updates, no surprises. If something changes, you hear about it first.
