Adams, an Oldcastle company,
co-hosted the May 19 event with
NCMCA’s Charlotte Metrolina Chap-
ter. The new champion is the son of
Maria and Tim Huntley of Monroe
and is number five of nine brothers.

JK is the first of the brothers to win
first place in the annual NCMCA con-
test. Now he has done it twice.

JK’s brother Landon is his foreman
at Huntley Brothers Company and fa-
ther Tim says Landon felt like JK
would win, that he is a very good
team player and does a great job.

(Tim added, “I can’t believe Landon
said that about his brother.”)
JK’s masonry instructor was his
great-uncle Sam McGee for whom
the contest is named. Mr. McGee
was a founder of McGee Brothers
Company, a firm based in Charlotte
that is often listed as among the
largest masonry contracting firms in
the country.

McGee, who died in 2015, was
recognized across the country as a
leader and innovator in the industry.

He was inducted into the national
Masonry Hall of Fame in 2014. Jami-
son's was one of the last masonry
classes that Sam ever taught.

Finishing second to fifth place re-
spectively were Coner Hallman,
McGee Brothers Company; Rex Hunt-
ley, Huntley Brothers Company; Zach-
ery McGee, McGee Brothers
Company; and Jesse Baker, Gates
Construction Company. Each contest-
ant had two hours to build a detailed
four-ft. by three-ft. brick and block
panel which was then judged in nine
predetermined categories.

By earning the David R. Sigmon
award for first place, JK won $1,000
cash and a wheelbarrow full of tools.

He also earns the right to represent
North Carolina again at the Mason
Contractors Association of America
(MCAA) International Skills Challenge
this coming January at Las Vegas. He
won that competition in January ear-
lier this year.

The North Carolina Masonry Con-
tractors Association has approxi-
mately 136 member companies
across the Carolinas. NCMCA pro-
motes masonry as a preferred build-
ing system and as a great career
opportunity. Jamieson (“JK”) Huntley (photography by Carl Moser)
