Jeff Buczkiewicz, President, Mason Contractors Association of America

I would like to personally Congratulate Steve Wheeler and Anna Weickhardt on their wedding this past week in Greenville, SC. Steve and Anna’s story goes back four years to the 2018 MCAA Mid-year meeting in San Antonio, TX where they first met. Who would think that while attending an MCAA event that you may meet your one and only? This past weekend friends, MCAA friends and family met and celebrated with Steve and Anna. On behalf of the entire MCAA family, we wish both Steve and Anna a wonderful life ahead. To many years of happiness!
