ABOUT_THE_CMMC_GUY
NO_BS // JUST_RESULTS // HELPING_SHOPS_SURVIVE
Background in security and manufacturing operations. I've seen too many machine shops waste money on over-complicated compliance solutions when a solid checklist and budget tools are all you actually need.
This site cuts through the noise and jargon. No sales pitch, no hidden upsells – just practical guidance for shop owners who need to get compliant without breaking the bank or their workflow.
CMMC isn't magic. It's a structured checklist that manufacturers have been following for years. Most "experts" complicate it to justify massive fees. You can do this yourself with the right guidance.

Plain English
No government-speak. No compliance jargon. Just straightforward explanations a shop foreman can understand.

No Sales Pitch
I don't sell consulting services. I don't get kickbacks from tool vendors. This is just information.
