B.L. Rieke Associates, Inc.

Bruce L. “B.L.” Rieke has been involved in the building industry since a very young age. A third generation Kansan, Bruce founded B.L. Rieke and Associates in 1989. Since then, Bruce and his wife, Toni, and the rest of the B.L. Rieke team have completed construction on over 1,100 distinctive and innovative quality homes in and around the Johnson County area. Emphasizing a team approach to successful home building, Bruce employs a top-tier team and stresses communication as the main component of a strong and successful business. When not building beautiful homes, he loves cooking and being outdoors.

Jeremy Lutz grew up in Hays, Kansas before going to college at Southwest Missouri State University to major in Construction Management. After graduating in 1999, he jumped right into the Kansas City homebuilding industry and launched his successful career a year later. Since joining the B.L. Rieke team in 2011 as an experienced Construction Manager, Jeremy has become an invaluable asset to the B.L. Rieke team as a highly-capable supervisor on jobsites. He currently resides in Raymore, Missouri with his wife, Nicole, and his two children. His hobbies include barbequing, being outdoors, and spending time with his family.

Karen Leftwich began gaining her accounting experience in college and started her career in homebuilding in 1990. With homebuilding in her blood and accounting as her passion, she joined the B.L. Rieke team in 1994 as the company’s sole accountant. Over the years, she has developed lasting friendships with the team and has loved working with B.L. Rieke’s homeowners and subcontractors. In the future, she hopes to “try and last as long as Bruce needs her, even in her walker.” In her spare time, she likes to shoot clay targets and travel.
