Keith ‘Sarge’ Hurlbert Named Indiana Mineral Aggregates Association’s Miner of the Year
Not only did many of our plants receive awards from the NSSGA, NRMCA and NAPA, but Indiana plant manager Keith
“Sarge” Hurlbert earned the Indiana Mineral Aggregates Association’s (IMAA) Miner of the Year Award.
Hurlbert was surprised at first being nominated, but what was truly shocking for the veteran miner was hearing that he
had won. Still, with more than 30 years of industry experience – including 23 years with Martin Marietta – Sarge is most
certainly among the most respected miners in the state, says Central Division Safety Manager Jeff McIntosh, the man
responsible for nominating Sarge for the honor. “You will be hard pressed to find a more genuine ambassador for the
aggregates community,” McIntosh says. “He lives it every day, in everything he does.”
Every year, the IMAA presents the Miner of the Year Award to a professional who makes outstanding contributions to the
aggregates industry. Winners are leaders and stewards of their communities. Beyond that, however, they serve as
beacons, regularly calling attention to the industry’s many positive impacts.
Beginning his career in the mid-80s with Beemsterboer in Gary, Indiana, Sarge soon moved his family to Martinsville,
Indiana, to start work with American Aggregates. American Aggregates was then acquired by Martin Marietta in the mid-
90’s, bringing Sarge into the company fold. Since joining Martin Marietta, Sarge has held numerous positions of
increasing responsibility, including maintenance lead and foreman. Currently, he serves as plant manager at the Belmont
and Waverly Sand plants.
McIntosh says Sarge’s leadership goes beyond his operations. He has served on various IMAA boards over the years and,
while leading the team at Waverly, helped establish a new community park.
