PETE CATONE

ROCK KERNICK
CANDIDATE FOR COUNCILWith the dual challenges of our future new manager in 2024 and the ongoing sewage treatment plant construction, Rock's re-election will help provide continuity and experience on council. A Pittsburgh native, Rock’s only time away from his hometown was spent in architecture schools in Chicago and London. Although he’s worked on university buildings all over the country, he spent his later years becoming a specialist in large corporate campuses, tenant fit-outs, and church projects. He invested nearly two decades in Scouting, he never missed a camping trip with his boys and, after each earned their Eagle, he stayed involved to train future adult leaders. He’s currently semi-retired from architecture, and spends most of his time as an activist and local organizer, is a member of Hampton Rotary, and lives near Wyland School with his wife, Linda, a nurse who recently began a new job in oncology research. Both of their sons are proud Hampton graduates and with scouting careers spent in Troop 17.
