A local owner who has sat on your side of the table.

CCS Pacific Northwest is owned by Dan and Gennett Kaplan and run from Camas, Washington. It exists because Dan spent twenty years watching integration done well and done badly, from every seat in the room, and decided the Northwest deserved the first kind.

The story

Twenty years, every side of the table.

Most integrators have only ever been the vendor. Dan has been the client, the engineer, and the account executive responsible for the promise.

The client years

As internal AV project engineer at one of the world's largest streaming companies, Dan was the person integrators had to satisfy. He signed off, or he did not.

The build years

Commercial AV delivery for some of the most demanding technology companies in the world, where a bad room in a launch week was not an option.

The sales years

Years as an account executive managing millions in annual AV projects for enterprise and university clients, learning what clients actually need to hear: the truth, early.

The leap

In May 2026, Dan and Gennett opened CCS Pacific Northwest: locally owned, nationally backed, and accountable to neighbors instead of a quarterly report.

The standard

Every room gets built to the standard Dan held as the client: it works when you walk in, or it is not done.

The backing

CCS Presentation Systems: 35 plus years, 22 locations, 19 states, ranked #15 in the nation. Local decisions, national depth.

How we work

Do what we say. Say what things cost.

We publish budget ranges, answer the phone, and treat your budget the way we treat our own. We would rather lose a bid honestly than win one with a number that will not survive the site survey.

Coffee in Camas or Portland, or a site walk at your building. Either way you will talk to the owner.
