Keith Richards
Co- Owner
Keith Richards
Co-Owner
From day one, Keith knew architecture was his calling. Witnessing the achievements of his grandparents helped turn his childhood dream into reality when he founded Meridian Roofing Solutions in 2013. As co-owner of the business, Keith thrives from solving the daily challenges of running the business while keeping the company's long term goals in focus, and helping his outstanding team make Meridian the best it can be.
Outnumbered by females in his household though, Keith and his wife, Brae have two young daughters, Charlotte and Evalyn who danced into his heart from day one. To escape the sugar and spice from time to time, Keith hits the tracks to race cars and motorcycles - his favorite hobby since he was a kid. Diehard Kansas State fan, he bleeds purple and is a true Wildcat through and through. #FrankLloydWright #Biker #EMAW

Nathan Morris
Co- Owner
Nathan Morris
Co-Owner
Determined and unwavering, Nathan helps lead the Meridian team with an ambitious and upbeat spirit. Having accomplished a life goal of completing a full IronMan Triathlon in Lake Placid, New York, no dream is too big for this high-reaching entrepreneur. Nathan is married to his high school sweetheart, Annie, who is a special education teacher in the Tecumseh school district. Together, they are the proud parents of a beautiful, and oftentimes, melodramatic first grader, who keeps them on their toes!
As co-owner of Meridian, Nathan maintains the vision of the company through all business avenues, but still, nothing charges his battery more than meeting his customers and helping solve their most difficult roofing challenges. Having watched his grandfather hit rock bottom at the age of 50, and then reinvent himself to be a successful businessman, Nathan comes by his passion for success naturally, and his motto to “have fun” has allowed him to enjoy every step in the journey! #Founder #Motivated #HaveFun

VP of Sales
He’s the Shawn of all trades...Roofer. Building Mechanic. Carpenter. Plumber. Cowboy. Bowler. That’s right, bowler (he once rolled a game of 280). When he isn’t knocking down pins, he serves as a Territory Manager for Meridian clients and helps them find innovative solutions to their roofing projects.
At home, his active family roots him on through all of his endeavors. Kimberly, his wife, Lauren and Landon, his children, two dogs and two cats enjoy spending time together, spending time outside or going to the movies (well, minus the dogs and cats). Oh, and cowboy? Shawn once broke his ankle by being bucked off a bareback bronc. #Polymath #Bowler #ThrillSeeker

Growing up in small town, Baldwin City, Taylor’s favorite memories included all things sports and outdoors, which has evolved into a love for getting outside and staying active. Loyal Chiefs, Jayhawks, and Royals fan, he bleeds red AND blue, giving him a sport to cheer on in every season. As Meridian’s Territory Manager, Taylor finds joy in meeting new folks and helping find creative roofing solutions in every job. Drawing from his experience as a seasoned Cabinetmaker, his attention to detail serves him well in the field.
At home, his furry friend gets him out for fetch and walks, and his acoustic guitar beckons him to stay in tune with his musical side. Fishing, woodworking, whale darts (Google it), pickleball, and poker...this guy has his hand in many hobbies and truly enjoys life to its fullest! #TaylorMade #Hobbyist

Adam Schultz is one of our Territory Managers. Adam has over 6 years’ experience in the roofing industry. Working with contractors and owners to help them discover what fits best for them. He also has over 8 years of Managing a Territory. He understands the importance of always being available to his customers and he works to exceed their expectations. He has over 20+ years of customer service experience which he can attribute to his years in the casino industry. During those 12 years he was humbled to be awarded several corporate awards, Employee of the Year, and a Leadership award, to name a few.
Adam is also a family man; he is the proud father to 4 girls (pray for me), and a husband to one lucky lady (I consider her lucky to be married to me). He also has one dog that most would say is the most important in his life, or at least that is what his wife would say. He has a gift of gab, and a degree in sarcasm. Things are always interesting when Adam is around.
Adam is a diehard Chiefs and KU fan. He enjoys woodworking when he has time, as well as playing golf.

Ryan Holm

Ryan Holm
Territory Manager
Day-to-day ‘“dot-connector” is how Ryan, our Territory Manager, navigates through his workday. When he isn’t out in the community connecting and building relationships with great clients, he can be found working on his archery skills or practicing his drums. He’ll be the first to tell you that working with clients to help them find a product that meets their specific need is one of the best “perks” of his job!
Ryan is a Topeka Native and since childhood, he has had a love for motocross racing. He enjoys it so much that he and his wife Cassandra named their two pugs after professional dirt bike racers. When Ryan isn’t working or enjoying motocross you can find him doing all the “girl dad” things with their two beautiful daughters, Audrey and Brooklyn. Ryan enjoys being outdoors and living his life to the fullest, which is why his life motto is perfect “Pain is temporary, pride lasts forever”. #motocrossfan #familyman
