JOEY AUER - Chief Executive Officer & Founder

I was born & raised in Louisiana and graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University in 1987 with a BS Degree in Computer Science. After working several years as a software engineer and network engineer, I identified a huge void in the market place. That void being a professional Information Technology (IT) consulting firm that could deliver sound business solutions coupled with top quality customer service by success driven, rewarded people.

In December of 1992, I pulled the trigger on what was to become quite an explosive & rewarding adventure for all. In my home, converted our dining room into an office, a small software development contract in hand, eye-of-the-tiger mission for success, and more importantly, never ever considered failure to be an option. Today, I am so very pleased to report Diamond Data Systems has blown well past the multi-million dollar revenue mark serving clients nation-wide, employs more than 85 professionals, and has spawned a satellite facility at Mississippi's Stennis Space Center.

I invite you to join our team of winners whether it be an employee, client, or resource.... but please, buckle up and keep your hands & feet inside as this ride of your life has yet to even clear the tower!

Sincerely,

Joey Auer
