Convergence KC

Meet Karissa Thomas, one of our Outside Electrical Sales reps covering Wichita and Western Kansas! With 17 years of industry experience (and roots that go back even further thanks to her parents' 40-year legacy), Karissa brings both expertise and passion to every part of her work. 💡 What excites her most? The possibilities that come with our growing team and the new talent making waves in the industry. She’s especially energized by the growth happening in the Wichita area—and the synergy it creates across our linecard. Whether it’s an exciting new project or a chance to connect with customers, Karissa is all in. Her job in three words? Always something new! Outside of work, Karissa keeps just as busy with her four amazing kids who fill life with activity and purpose. You’ll usually find her at a volleyball court (playing, coaching, or cheering), enjoying the outdoors—especially summers at the lake—or bringing home just one more plant to add to her ever-growing collection. 🌱 We’re lucky to have Karissa on our team and out in the field doing what she does best! 🎉

Happy Birthday Bill! 🎉 We hope your day is filled with all your favorite things and maybe a little extra relaxation. Wishing you a fantastic year ahead! 🎂

Wishing you a joyful Easter from all of us at Convergence. 🐣🌷 May your day be filled with hope, happiness, and time spent with those who matter most. Happy Easter! 💛

What a great week at the ASLA Central States Conference 2025! We always appreciate the opportunity to connect face-to-face, showcase some of the latest products, and catch up with so many familiar faces. Thanks to everyone who stopped by! As we head into the holiday weekend, we’re grateful for great conversations, good company, and the connections that keep our industry strong. Wishing you a wonderful Easter! 🌷

Eight years of dedication, hard work, and making a difference! 👏 Sherri, we can’t imagine the team without you. Thank you for all that you do—here’s to many more years ahead! 🎉

🌴 Florida + Lutron = An Unforgettable Experience! 🌅 Michael Page and Emily Holt, along with two of our talented engineers, had the incredible opportunity to visit the Lutron Electronics Experience Center in sunny Florida! From an in-depth look at Lutron’s advanced control systems to a hands-on Ketra lighting demonstration, the team got an immersive education on everything Lutron has to offer. The trip blended learning with a bit of leisure, including some fantastic dinners and a breathtaking sunset catamaran cruise along the beautiful intercoastal waterways. A huge thank you to Lutron for the invitation and for creating such a memorable and valuable experience. We’re excited to bring all this knowledge back to the team!

Wishing you a fantastic birthday, Michael Page! 🎈 Hope it’s filled with great company, good laughs, and maybe even a little cake (or a lot—we won’t judge). Cheers to another year!

Wrapping up the week with a little preview of what’s ahead — Convergence will be at the ASLA Central States Conference next week with a tabletop display alongside a few of our manufacturing partners! 🌿💡 We’ll be showcasing some exciting products and connecting with the landscape architecture community. Will we see you there? Have a great weekend — and we hope to see you next week!

Meet Dan Kurtz, a key part of our Contractor/Distributor Sales team, covering Kansas and Western Missouri. With 6 years in the industry, Dan brings energy, experience, and a genuine love for collaboration. He appreciates the strong sense of family at Convergence and the way the team comes together to support one another and our partners. Every day looks a little different—from solar farms to stadiums, data centers to schools—and Dan enjoys seeing projects through, from concept to completion. Outside of work, you’ll find him spending time with his girlfriend Addie, golfing with friends, discovering local restaurants, and cheering on the Chiefs, Royals, and Jayhawks. He’s also got a serious passion for cooking—trying a new recipe each week (vodka pasta is the current fav!). Oh, and fun fact: While he doesn't have any pets of his own, his family’s pet bunny, Roger, has quite the personality & is always the star of the show.  We’re grateful to have Dan on the Convergence team, building strong relationships and bringing a thoughtful approach to everything he does.
