Sam Peterson

Bay Preserve Site Manager

Working towards the preservation of our natural habitats and communities for future generations to enjoy is incredibly rewarding and I am proud to be a part of the Conservation Foundation and its mission.

Sam Peterson joined Big Waters in April 2019. He is a Sarasota native and University of South Florida graduate. Sam is property manager at our Bay Preserve Headquarters and can often be found working on the grounds to ensure they are cared for and welcoming to all. Sam also oversees the site rental process and is the primary contact for all weddings and private events held at Bay Preserve. Sam spent much of his youth on the Intracoastal Waterway from Snake Island to Jewfish Key and the integrity of Florida’s waterways are very important to him. His hobbies include camping, photography, writing, and guitar.
