About
Built Different.
AVDV is a veteran-owned IT and AV contracting company based in Bellefonte, PA. This is the story of how it got here.
The Story
The Army
Adam Clampet served nine years in the US Army and Pennsylvania National Guard — starting as a mechanic and earning the rank of Sergeant. He led a team while in the 28th infantry Division and deployed to Kosovo in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, completing his final semester at Juniata College while overseas and earning a BA in Information Technology. He also earned enough credits for a secondary emphasis in Business Management. The Army didn't just teach him discipline. It taught him how to operate under pressure, take ownership of a mission, and never leave a job half done. Those aren't soft skills. They're the operating standard at AVDV.
The Nissan Quest
After returning from Kosovo, Adam spent time travelling into New York City installing AV systems for high-end clients — away from home every weekday. He realized he could charge half what those clients were paying and make twice what he was earning. In December 2005 he loaded a maroon Nissan Quest with spools of network and coax cable and started The Tech Center in Huntingdon, PA. While the cable companies drilled through everything in sight, Adam fished wire through walls and preserved the oak window trim. The phone and cable company technicians knew his name. They recommended him when customers wanted it done right.
The Cafe
Alongside The Tech Center, Adam opened C@ffeine in December 2005 — an internet cafe and coffee house serving sandwiches, wraps, and paninis with high-speed internet. It was always a dream of his to own a restaurant. When applying for permits, he learned the space had previously been permitted as a bakery — same use classification meant no need to bring it up to code. When C@ffeine needed room to grow, Adam helped his wife and her business partner establish M&N Friends, which took over the equipment and reopened as The Cafe in January 2008. The Tech Center kept running — eventually moving to the basement of The Cafe. The hustle never stopped.
The Long Road
In November 2009 Adam was hired by Spectrum Control as IT Lead. He built workflows, led software transitions, managed infrastructure for over a hundred end users, and developed a five-year IT asset replacement plan. When API acquired the company, he was laid off in June 2011 — just as he was finishing his Master of Arts in Christian Studies at Crown College. He completed the degree and pursued a calling to pastoral ministry. What followed was a stretch of finding his footing — Penn State IT Consultant, Link Computer, Schoolwires Sales Engineer, AccuWeather NOC Technician, Standard Steel IS Support, and a case manager role at the Veterans Multi-Service Center serving veterans facing homelessness in central PA. The road was long. Faith kept him moving.
The Stranger at the ATM
By 2012 Adam had picked up part-time field technician work through SmartSource — repairing computers, ATMs, and IT equipment. He kept at it for nearly nine years alongside everything else. It was during that work that a stranger told him about Field Nation. In 2019 he signed up. Within three months he realized that he could make a living doing this. VisExperts was born. Then 2020 came. While the world shut down, Adam became an essential worker — installing food delivery platforms for restaurants trying to reopen and camera systems for schools so families could watch their kids play sports remotely. That year he hired his first employee and the business has grown every year since.
AVDV
VisExperts became AVDV — Audio, Video, Data, Voice. The rebrand reflects what the company has always done and where it's going. Managed IT, AV systems, structured cabling, access control, surveillance, and VoIP — one company, one point of contact, central Pennsylvania. The mission hasn't changed: give small and mid-sized businesses access to the same quality of technology infrastructure that large enterprises take for granted. Christ is the reason for every bit of it.
Community
Crops for Christ
In 2016 Adam founded Crops for Christ, Inc. — a farming ministry addressing food insecurity in the Bellefonte area. Responding to Matthew 25:34-36, the mission is simple: provide food to those who need it by growing crops, raising animals, partnering with hunters, and teaching people to garden. The same community AVDV serves is the community Crops for Christ feeds. Business success and community responsibility aren't separate things. They never have been.

What We Stand For
Mission First
Every job gets the same focus and discipline regardless of size. Small office or large venue — the standard doesn't change.
Honest Work
We tell you what you need, not what generates the biggest invoice. If you don't need it, we won't sell it to you.
Show Up
We show up on time, do the work, and clean up after ourselves. It sounds simple because it is. You'd be surprised how rare it is.
Faith Driven
AVDV operates from a foundation of faith. The way we treat clients, vendors, and each other reflects something bigger than the bottom line.
