He’s been part of construction management teams for projects ranging from $10 million to $300 million.

“I’ve been very fortunate in my career to work on some big and exciting projects, particularly in the life sciences and healthcare arena. There is nothing more challenging than working on a renovation in a medical facility. Not only do you have to be concerned about your project and minimize impact to the very important work the care providers are doing but you must communicate with frequency with multiple parties from the organization,” said Rock. “Part of what drew me to South Coast Improvement is their strong track record of projects of this nature and their unbelievable record for repeat business.”
Rock resides in Cranston, Rhode Island and is the father to three grown children and nine grandchildren.
