Patrick Pedonti

Treasurer

My younger years were spent overseas in the Middle East, North Africa, West Africa, and Southeast Asia. I learned to love the natural beauty of those places. Twenty years ago, I visited Gasparilla Island in SW Florida and realized this is where I wanted to live. This led me to Big Waters and their critical work in preserving this environmentally sensitive area.

Patrick joined the board in 2024. Originally from the Boston Massachusetts area, he was a Chief Financial Officer at a publicly traded software company for over 20 years
