What We Do
A Holistic Approach
To Life Planning

Welcome to Diversified Investment Services, LLC. We've been helping individuals, families, and businesses navigate their financial journeys since our establishment in 2005, becoming an LLC in 2012.

Our unique diamond logo was lovingly crafted by the young daughter of our founder, John Bland. At the tender age of 9, she ingeniously captured the four core aspects of people's lives that we aim to incorporate into our services: Faith, Family, Health, and Wealth. These elements are represented by the four diamonds, while the golden swirls surrounding them signify our firm's commitment to embracing and integrating all these aspects into our financial planning process. This logo serves as a constant reminder of our guiding principles and the comprehensive approach we take in serving our clients.

John Bland

Founder and President

Since founding Diversified Investment Services in 1999, I have dedicated my life to helping individuals, families, and businesses realize a comprehensive, holistic approach to their financial goals and their lives. I studied business management and finance at East Carolina University, which gave me a solid foundation to begin my career.

Before establishing Diversified Investment Services, I spent a decade working in the information technology business, eventually founding my own Information Technology company. As the President/CEO of Commercial Business Solutions, I was proud to see the company recognized as one of the "Top 100 Fastest Growing Companies in 1998" by Forbes "Entrepreneur Magazine".

In my work, I am committed to evaluating all aspects of a client's life goals and designing a strategy where all parts work in harmony. This philosophy has been the foundation of Diversified Investment Services from the beginning. Our company logo, with its four diamonds representing Faith, Family, Wealth, and Health, encapsulates this approach. These four aspects of life are brought together by the gold bands in the logo, symbolizing the harmony we aim to create in our clients' lives.

I take immense pride in my dedication, fiduciary responsibility, and the role I play as a steward of my clients' goals. I am both privileged and humbled to have received numerous recognitions for Diversified Investment Services, including Outstanding Customer Service 2006, 2007, 2008; Directors Club at LPL Financial; Top Rated Advisory Firm 2009; Presidents Club at LPL Financial; Top 10 Financial Advisory Firms Summit Financial 2009, 2010, 2011; Lifetime Achievement Award Boutique Advisory Firm 2012 – Investment Advisor Magazine; Top 5 Financial Advisory Firms Summit Financial 2012, 2013; J.D.
