Meet the Team
KELLAN BARNES
General Manager
Kellan has been an integral part of the E2 team since early 2019. He joined our team through Aaron while looking for some part time work and has grown to work full time onsite painting and drywalling, and also doing marketing and sales. As by far the tallest crew member, he’s always around to help “reach” our goals! He loves getting to work out in the sunshine on exteriors while at work and snowboarding down the local hills during the winter. Always making sure to make time for hanging out with buddies and playing music to chill out after putting in a full day’s work!
PHIL JONES
Lead Painter
Phil is a long-time friend of both Kellan, our GM, and Aaron, our renovation PM. The three of them went to school together in Port Coquitlam and have stayed close friends ever since so it was only natural when Phil first came aboard in 2021. He rejoined the team in the summer of 2022 after a brief hiatus at sea(working on tugboats ;)). He has since quickly scaled the ranks to become E2's Lead Painter. Phil's management experience, work ethic, and natural leadership skills make him a perfect fit for the position. In his free time, Phil can be found shredding guitar solos at a local venue or crafting fine furnishings for him and his wife.
EMMA LYSKE
Painter
Emma Grew up in the lower mainland and has called it home her entire life. Since joining E2, Emma has been able to use her sharp eye for detail to benefit the quality of the paint work, she started out quite but now has a major voice at the table and helps in the development of new on site systems. When she is not binging one of her many shows she can be found out and about playing all kinds of sports or crushing it on video games. Her passion for what she does shows in the work she produces and the positive energy she has on site helps new team members understand the culture here at E2.
COURTNEY MORAN
Admin
Having initially covered for a mat leave position in 2018, Courtney is back full time with E2 this year ensuring that things run smoothly for everyone involved. Her days are spent in the office working with the sales team and making sure that the field staff have everything they need to get their days done. Outside of work (and while working from home!), she spends time with her fiancé and cat, planning their wedding and binging the latest Netflix series.
ADAM JOHNSON
Owner
Adam grew up in Prince George and ended up calling the lower mainland home once at 17, but finally at the age of 22. His original passion for the arts was what led him here, but his tenacity to find what truly suited him was what led him into the construction industry. With a short pit stop in the culinary world, he found his true calling in finishing. Having been in leadership roles for most of his life, it was only fitting for him to lead a team as part of a successful business. Day to day, Adam can be found checking up on projects, working on quotes, or even getting his hands dirty on site. Founding E2 has been one of the most challenging and rewarding ventures of his life and he can’t wait to see what happens over the coming years. When not working on the business adam is a family man, helping raise his kids with his beautiful wife Taylor, and navigating this new post covid world.
