Daniel Pippert: Founder & Owner, Convergence Kitchen & Bath
Professional Summary
As the founder of Convergence Kitchen & Bath, I bring nearly 30 years of diverse experience in the building materials, design, and remodeling industries. My journey began with a deep dive into building material sales, followed by years of experience in kitchen and bath design and sales. After transitioning into corporate B2B sales and starting several businesses, I returned to the industry I truly belong, in remodeling. This culmination of experience and passion led to the founding of Convergence Kitchen & Bath, where the focus is on providing homeowners with a seamless and personalized remodeling experience.
With an emphasis on high-quality craftsmanship, client collaboration, and a transparent process, my goal is to create spaces that blend functionality and design. My hands-on approach ensures that every project, no matter the scope, reflects the unique vision and needs of the homeowner.
Sincerely,

Professional Experience
My journey began in the mid-1990s at a building material shop in Salem and Corvallis, Oregon, where I helped launch the kitchen and bath cabinet sales service. This was my introduction to the world of kitchen and bath design, and it laid the groundwork for a deep understanding of materials, product quality, and client expectations. From there, I moved to the Bay Area in California, a region known for its interior design expertise, where I worked at a specialty building material and design center. My role was to manage and grow the kitchen and bath department, and within six months, I achieved a 250% increase in sales. This experience taught me the importance of understanding the evolution of design trends, cultivating strong vendor relationships, and the power of excellent customer service in driving business growth.
Needing to return to the Pacific Northwest, I made my way back to Oregon, where I opened a kitchen and bath design showroom on the Oregon Coast. This provided invaluable lessons in everything from operations to client interaction to creative problem-solving. Here, I honed my ability to balance design aesthetics with practicality, creating beautiful spaces that met the functional needs of my clients. This experience also solidified my passion for working directly with homeowners, guiding them through the remodeling process, and helping them bring their vision to life.
For several years after that, I managed the sales and design for a full-service remodeling company, overseeing all aspects of interior and exterior remodels. This role sharpened my skills in project management, from initial design concepts to the final walkthrough. I was responsible for developing and maintaining relationships with subcontractors, vendors, and clients, ensuring that every project was completed on time, within budget, and to the highest standards. These years reinforced my belief in the importance of collaboration—both within the team and with the client.
Finally, after years of working in the industry, I founded Convergence Kitchen & Bath, bringing together all these experiences to offer a truly collaborative, client-focused remodeling service. With a deep understanding of both design and business operations, I now focus on providing homeowners with a seamless, transparent process that prioritizes their unique needs and desires.
