成为一个成功的朋友或业务合作伙伴，与推动，挑战和让你更好的人来说，围绕着自己。自七年级，蒂姆莫尔，钻石View Studios的创始人和首席执行官，钻石景观工作室副总裁兼乔纳森（乔恩）Davila彼此受到积极影响，成为最好的朋友和有价值的商业伙伴。

The Entrepreneurial Spirit
蒂姆钻石视图工作室后,于2007年成立duating from high school. “Back then, it was not really a business,” Tim said. “I attended Pasco-Hernando Community College (PHCC). Jon focused his attention on biomedical science at the University of South Florida (USF). We concentrated on school, worked day jobs and shot weddings on the weekend.”

“they are our family. We know them, we socialize and live in their communities, we owe them the best we can provide.”

2010年，蒂姆转移到USF。Jon是欣喜若狂，让他最好的朋友出席同一所学校。“这是我们二年级学年的结束，”乔恩召回。“当时蒂姆打电话告诉我他在PHCC上完成并来USF时，我正在校园散步。正如我们在电话上谈话，我看到了一个学生政府选举的传单。我有兴趣。我对蒂姆的直接反应是，“让我们为总统和副总统竞选。”我们失去了非常糟糕，但学到了巨大的金额。“

Running for office showcased Tim and Jon’s perseverance, ambition and unique business chemistry. It ignited a remarkable business partnership and joint entrepreneurial journey. “Through that election experience, we realized we were more like-minded than we originally thought,” Tim said. “Jon and I could accomplish anything if we set our minds to it.”

开始旅程
After college graduation, Tim and Jon began careers in their respective fields. “At the time, we were experiencing and traveling down different trajectories,” Jon recalled. “Tim worked in the media department at his church, Idlewild Baptist Church. It was where he learned his videography skills and really began shaping Diamond View Studios to grow into a full-time business venture. I worked at Florida Hospital in Tampa preparing for medical school.”

Little by little, Diamond View Studios expanded services and attracted growth. When free time allowed it, Jon joined Tim on video shoots while slowly questioning a medical career path. “My mom always told me that I would be a great doctor,” Jon said. “Her words stuck for a while. Yet, I started asking myself, ‘Am I doing this because the majority of my family worked in the medical field?’”

In 2011, Tim and Jon became official business partners. “Jon was working a shift at the hospital when I called asking him if he had any lunch plans,” Tim said. “I picked him up, and we ate at a local restaurant. We talked about the future and committing to Diamond View Studios full time.”

午餐后，蒂姆拉进入医院停车场下车。“我走出了车，开始走向医院，”乔恩说。“蒂姆滚下了窗户大喊大叫'你忘记了车里的东西。”我没有把任何东西带到餐馆，穿着少擦洗。我以为他搞砸了我。“

Tim handed Jon an envelope with instructions to open it when he was back on his medical floor and near his boss’s office. “I did just that!” Jon said. “I walked up to the fifth floor, stood in front of my boss’s door and ripped open the envelope.”

蒂姆代表乔恩写了一封辞职信。“我读过它，”乔恩说。“它是术语正确的。所以，我直接走进办公室，交给我的辞职信。“

钻石View Studios正式启动。“我们辞掉了我们的日常工作，致力于在坦帕创造，建造和发展业务，”蒂姆说。

Creating a Feeling
Video is an art form connecting subject content with people at an emotional level. Diamond View Studios crafts every shot with the individual story in mind. “Our philosophy is simple, capture a story,” Tim said. “We create videos that inspire people and build strong brand connections. We want the viewer to feel something when watching our commercials or documentaries.”

拥有超过10年的行业经验，蒂姆已经致力于成千上万的视频，商业和纪录片，为每个项目带来了新鲜和创造性的观点。如今，百万美元视频制作公司与财富500强公司合作，政府实体，医疗保健提供者和慈善组织。Diamond View Studios为各种公司创建了各种公司屡获殊荣的视频和商业广告，包括凯悦，电晕，佳叻，迈阿密国际机场，亚特兰大勇士队和坦帕湾雷电。

“每个客户都是我最喜欢的，”乔恩说。“我真正喜欢这份工作是每个项目都是独一无二的。有一天，我们正在为养老院拍摄，第二天我们正在为一个大联盟运动队射击。“

后面的故事,创造性的联系和情绪n develops early in the initial meetings and preproduction phase. It is portrayed throughout the video. “When we start producing video content for our clients, we immerse ourselves in their culture,” Tim said. “We learn everything about them to convey their message. I feel compelled to share these stories.”

For Jon, knowledge is priceless. “I am continuing my education through work,” Jon said. “We meet unique individuals who share their expertise and knowledge within different industries.”

Generating Growth in the “Innovation District”
Both 28 years old, Tim and Jon have ambitious plans for the Tampa area and entrepreneurship. Located in the “Innovation District” of North Tampa, Diamond View Studios is the first of its kind in the economically stagnant and high-crime neighborhood. “We purchased our office building as a foreclosure in 2014 shaping a workplace and business unlike anything else in the blighted area,” Tim said.

In 2016, Hillsborough County proposed a $2 million budget to craft a master plan for cultivating, improving and redeveloping the transient, poverty-stricken neighborhood. The goal involves driving economic activity and revitalizing the community by engaging with small businesses and globally recognized institutions including USF, Busch Gardens, Florida Hospital and Moffitt Cancer Center.

Jon, in particular, feels deeply connected to the initiative and to the local children at Mort Elementary School. The son of Puerto Rican immigrants, he spent his elementary school days in the high-poverty, crime-ridden, gang-infested Humboldt Park neighborhood of Chicago before moving to Tampa. Tim and Jon often invite students from Mort Elementary School to record the school’s morning news announcements from the studio. “If I can succeed, they can too,” Jon said.

蒂姆和乔恩正在监督Hillsborough县倡议的咨询委员会。此外，Duo推出了坦帕基金会，计划在附近建造和融资公共艺术雕塑，每天鼓励行人走路熊队大道。

再投资转向收入
Diamond View Studios realized the importance of being strategic and organic when building the company. “We did not start the business with a line of credit or reliance on investors,” Tim said. “In the beginning, we reinvested the money from each job back into the business. First, we bought a camera, followed by a computer. Finally, an office space. Little by little, we built upon our foundation. Today, we still practice this reinvesting philosophy, but on a larger scale.”

As a multi-million dollar company, Diamond View Studios has numerous opportunities on the table that could double them in size. “If all these contracts pull through, we will be scaling our growth. Expansion is inevitable,” Jon said.

不仅仅是办公大楼
钻石View Studios从两到22名员工的团队增长，稳定的USF或坦帕实习生和约40名承包商。整个办公室都存在“永不感觉”的环境。蒂姆和乔恩培养了友谊，激情，创造力和讲故事的文化。

“我们的工作室不是您典型的企业办公室设置，”蒂姆说。“当你走进时，无处不在的创造力。红砖建筑有一个二楼，可以通过蜿蜒的工业楼梯进入。高架阁楼，称为“国王着陆”，用作会议室。为Kombucha茶和盲人咖啡馆的冷咖啡提供零食。每个员工都装饰他们的办公室，以适应独特的个性和风格。我们有电影狂热，艺术家和世界旅客;他们的空间代表了个体。“

在任何给定的一天，蒂姆可以看到别人的食物和玩实用的笑话。这些团队可以在下午开启悬浮板或享受一场决斗的无人机游戏。紧密针织小组经常在工作后拿啤酒。在过去的三年里，蒂姆和乔恩带给了公司巡航团队。

For many of the employees, it is the only office they have ever worked in. It is no surprise; Diamond View Studios was recently voted “Coolest Office Space” and one of the “Best Places to Work” by the Tampa Bay Business Journal.

成长为企业
坦帕是企业增长，人才招聘和公司搬迁的崭露头角的城市。“作为企业家，在坦帕地区的生活和工作很大，”乔恩说。“我们位于集中位于私营国家，相信创建就业机会，税收激励和人才池。随着坦帕地区的成长，钻石景观工作室增长。“

Tim and Jon encourage companies of all types, sizes, and cultures to explore Florida’s possibilities, sustain a business and establish growth.
