OWNER/LEAD BUILDER

In his heart of hearts, Keiran is a builder. Growng up on a farm, he was born into the business of shaping the world around him with his hands. This hard working, self-reliant, problem solving spirit has propelled Keiran into a career as a builder. It took a 7 year academic career, culminating in a Masters of Philosophy at the University of Guelph, (all the while moonlighting as a contractor) to teach Keiran that his his heart was really in building. It is with a borderline obsessive zeal for all things building that Keiran runs the building operations of Two Rivers. His quest for constant improvement and dedication to craftsmanship form fundamental pillars of the two rivers company culture. Keiran lives in Guelph’s Exhibition Park neighbourhood with his wife and 3 daughters.

DESIGNER

Emilie’s journey in residential design began as a passion, a way of seeing her built environment that she could not turn off. Her design sensibility is based in a love and appreciation for homes, and all the bricks and mortar, habits and behaviours, symbols and emotions that make them work and make them such fundamentally meaningful spaces in our lives. Because of this, Emilie’s designs are not trendy. Her designs reflect a basic respect for houses, their histories and ideosyncracies, and the meaning-making activities and visions of their occupants. She strives at each opportunity to augment the unique style of her clients with principles of design and functionality that elevate them towards timelessness. Along the way, she pairs her unpretentiousness with a refreshing dose of pure niceness. Emilie lives in Guelph’s Sunny Acres with her husband and 2 sons.

OWNER/PROJECT MANAGER

Bobby’s entrepreneurial spirit is the wellspring from which two rivers flows. For Bobby, building this business is a way to contribute to and make a meaningful stamp on this community. The owner of Ranardo Real Estate (our brother company), Bobby combines his real estate knowledge with his construction experience to help our clients get the best value out of their projects. Bobby worked for an east coast developer before returning home to pursue his passion of building. Knowing that the only way to start a building company was to learn how to build, Bobby established a strong basis on the tools. This intimate understanding of building, as well as his love of building science and technology (read: tools!), forms the basis of Bobby’s outstanding project management; likewise from his commitment to his family and community springs his exceptionally authentic and approachable customer service. Bobby lives in The Ward with his wife.

LEAD BUILDER

Nicky is what we call a “lifer”: someone who came to the craft early (age 15!), and who has never waivered from her dedication to being a better builder.

Nicky manages your home and your budget with an attention and personal concern that you would only expect from a close friend or family member. Her keen eye for design and meticulous attention to detail mean her finished product is immaculate. And her many years of hard earned experience mean her quality control standards are dialed in. Nicky hails from Fergus where she lives with her family.
