Based in Oregon — Serving the US and the World
Acoustics, Audio, Video and Lighting
My Name is Steve Diamond. Nice to meet you!
Diamond Support Services LLC is a company dedicated to serving Churches, Schools and Universities, and other larger venues where sound/media is critical. Steve Diamond has been involved in the AAVL industry for over 40 years and has extensive real world experience. He was awarded a patent for an acoustic device in 2014 which has since been installed in a variety of facilities. Over the years, Steve has toured with bands, owned a recording studio, and is currently technical director at Life Bible Church in Harrisburg, Oregon. He has focused on design and integration since 1997. He has literally designed for hundreds of satisfied clients and partnered with them through installation and training of facility personnel.
FOCUS
Although Steve has decades of experience and was a founder of a large company doing similar work, Steve left that behind and chose to start Diamond Support Services to provide small to mid-size churches with affordable expertise. It is the smaller church on a limited budget that consistently has a tough time finding a consultant that will take the time to understand their limitations, budget, vision, and the help needed to make wise stewardship decisions.
The business is set up as a sole proprietorship. What that means to you is that you always talk to the Principal, the owner. It also means far lower overhead which translates into much better pricing. Steve’s experience and leadership abilities will provide your team with the guidance necessary for a successful process and project. It is Steve’s mission to forge lasting relationships with his clients based on honesty and integrity.
Diamond Support Services will partner with you through the entire process from design, to implementation, to training. Steve will pay attention to your needs, provide you with timely service, stay within budget, and always give you better than internet pricing. There is no client too small or large, and whether small or large, the service is the same.
