In one of his final official actions as State CFO, newly elected Congressman Jimmy Patronis appointed Mr. Charles Rigdon, Destin, to the Triumph Gulf Coast Board. Mr. Rigdon’s appointment is effective immediately starting March 31, 2025 for a four year term.

Mr. Rigdon is a principal of Harbor Capital, a Real Estate investment firm. He has a background in accounting and banking. For the past 40 years his primary business ventures have been Real Estate and private equity related.
