The Alle-Kiski Valley and Westmoreland region might know him as a dedicated youth football coach, founder and president of the local nonprofit Gridiron Home and the director of human services for Westmoreland County. In his youth, Hamilton experienced severe hardship. “We had a very rough life,” Hamilton said. “Sports have become toxic for kids,” Hamilton said. One of those coaches is Bill Nuttall of Lower Burrell, who first met Hamilton when the pair began coaching together in the Lower Burrell Flyers youth football organization.
