About
DHAV was founded by Duane Harder, who has more than 21 years of experience in the AV industry. According to the company, Harder progressed from a hands-on technician to an Audio Visual Sales Manager at a downtown hotel and convention center, and later worked as a freelance contractor alongside top AV companies. The business was established in 2019, described as having been “born out of a client’s need for something better” when a longtime partner sought consistent AV services across multiple events citywide. The company states that its core objective is to “deliver unmatched value through consistent, technician-led service.”
